I'm looking to buy either the Canon sx50 or Nikon P610 specifically for bird photography on a budget. I've looked at loads of reviews and photos on line but still finding it hard to decide. I have been able to handle the Nikon in the shops but the Canon is only available second hand or refurbished so I've been unable to handle one. Both cameras have great features for bird photography but there are a couple of differences that make it hard for me to decide. I like the Nikon very much but the lack of Raw is what bothers me. I use lightroom 6 for editing Raw files from my G1x mk2 and think I would want to edit most pics I take with any new camera I get. The Nikon only shoots jpegs and I'm concerned that any editing could spoil image quality? Would the Canon give better results using Raw than the nikon despite having an older sensor? The EVF on the Canon I hear is not great either and wondered if anyone has experience of using it while wearing glasses
