I was thinking that a reconditioned SX50 would be perfect, too, but now she wants to shoot action as well as to have the zoom. I don't know if the SX50 is capable of fast shutter speeds.
I'm back to square one. Does this camera even exist or is it too expensive for a kid? It would be a super zoom bridge camera with shutter speeds fast enough to shoot action. If true, I might buy two of them. lol

The SX50 will shoot 10 frames a second in full resolution, which is amply fast enough for any sport, so you're not back to square one at all. One thing to keep in mind is that these type of cameras thrive on good lighting. The SX50 will handle outdoor sports well, but would not be so good with indoor sports with poor lighting. It's a good choice for a kid's first camera (a lot of 'big kids' use them, too, lol).Earl.

Thank you. I didn't know that the SX50 shot any faster than one at at time, and it is faster than most DSLR's!! It must be another advantage of the smaller sensor camera. One of the reasons I bought the SONY 6000, ("crop" size sensor") was that it shoots 11 frames per second. Later, when I went back to buy the SONY a7R2 ("full frame" size sensor")it shoots only 5 frames per second. What I think that tells me is that a bigger sensor makes it harder to shoot like a machine gun. Almost like, I can get only 4 bullets in my big gun bullet clip because my bullets are big.
My friend's daughter, however, is needing camera that can give fast shutter speeds, like above 1200 per second, or thereabouts. 2500 if she can get it. I didn't tell her about frames per second for fear that it would add another hundred to the camera cost, but as it may well turn out, it would have been better for me to promise her frames per second and worry about her blurred action photos, for lack of shutter speed, later.
