I'm in the same situation as many people. I am looking at the Canon SX40 price range and it seemes to be the best camera. Better than the HS20/30 and the FZ150 also the p500 p510.
Only downside I hear from it is that its auto focus and shutter lag isn't good, which takes me thinking about going for a FX150...buuut another dilemma that the FZ150 doesn't have nearly as much zoom at the sx40 and zoom is important to me. I want to be able to just see a bird/animal, auto focus quick n get a good snapshot (what everyone want's right?) without having to spend thousands on an SLR.
I'm not sure if there are newer models which are better but not at a super price increase?
I really want something that can shoot quick as I'm shooting wildlife and not still objects but also have at least 30x zoom. Budget is 100-200 quid I guess. I don't mind ebay used.
Thanks for any help.
