Sandy I think refurbished is better then new why they go ever part and make it like new. The 50 I have is 2 years now and is great. Try one if you don't like put it on ebay or here and sale it, get your money back. You will love it. Video is something else.

Since you are considering the Panasonic LUMIX DMC- FZ1000, whew, what a name. May we just call it the FZ1000? Anyway, I think you have the gist of the situation. Is your aim to become a professional or just to take pic that you and your friends on the internet enjoy? If friend sharing is your goal, then the FZ1000 offers a lot of pro-like features, but can be shot in auto settings and the wiggle-free stabilization feature gives you a lot more good shots. The huge zoom enables you to shot close-ups or telephoto shots of birds or other animals, even a zoom shot of kids doing something so cute or a friend doing something so silly that you have to have that shot and right now, without changing a lens. Oh, and did I mention the auto setting in case you don't have time to choose the apparature, speed, or ISO for that perfect shot. You just need to get it and NOW! And yes, if you have some time to study how to get more unique photos, that you might even want to blow-up and hang...this will give you some latitude. Are there other options, sure! I just chose this one and would suggest this might be the one for you. Good hunting!

I can only tell you what I am familiar with. I have 4 digital cameras and though I wouldn't be without my Sony a6000 mirrorless, I have owned the Nikon P510, P600 and now the P900 and LOVED all three. I would also hate to be without the P900! The power of the lens is fantastic and I never leave the house without both cameras. The P900 also has wifi. You can use your tablet as a remote.
I checked out the p900. Looks good and the wifi is important to upload onto my ipad. Thanks for your input.

Price would be good too. Thanks.

Sandy,
My first "beyond basic" camera was a Canon S3IS about 9 years ago, followed by an SX40 in 2012. I really liked both of them and took several thousand photos with each. If I had a limited budget, I would buy another Canon "superzoom." I can't speak to the others, but I had a great experience with both of my Canons. I resisted a DSLR primarily because of weight and bulk as well as cost. The photo quality was very good, but both left a lot to be desired in low light situations. I also liked the video capability of both of them. However, I finally decided it was time for a DSLR, so I bought a Canon 80D last month.

Why is the SX50 a better camera than the SX60? I have a SX20 and would like to upgrade.

I have the SX50 love it the SX60 I do not know why it would be better. Go to youtube and see. The video got my hooked.

Another question. Do these bridge cams have the same problem as my little canon point & shoot and my IPad with being able to see the image in certain lights, i.e., fog or bright sunlight ? Some times i have to point and pray.
