My mother told me my father wants a "camera like yours (DSLR)" that is easy to use. He is in his late 60's and I know he will not be able use and not be happy with a SLR. I have been searching google hoping to find a bridge camera that stands out but for the most part each web site has different ones at the top. A friend recommended the SX50HS Canon. I have also seen some good about the Sony HX 300. My father has never been into photography, he has two grandchildren so I am assuming he is wanting to use them for plays, sports events etc. Some would be indoor some would be outdoors. My thoughts are it might be better to get something with a little less zoom if it would preform a little better in low light. As most of you pros know, the number one complaint I hear about peoples cameras is that the pictures are blurry when people are moving. Some people don't know why you can't take pictures of people running around in a dark night club. She is wanting to stay under $500.00. Any input on what to go with would be appreciated.
