Unfortunately a lot of the models you mentioned aren't available in my home country anymore (the older ones) and although they're quite affordable on amazon and ebay, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to order from the UK or America, since the plugs are different?I'm looking at superzoom cameras at the moment (I might switch again in a few years to a DSLR, but now I think this is what suits me the most), and I found a few, does anyone have any idea if the following models are any good?Panasonic Lumix FZ-72Pentax XG-1Canon Powershot SX530HSI'm looking for more options, but from what I've been reading I think the Cannon might be the best one? Any other suggestions? I hope I'm not being bothersome but I really know very little about cameras and I want to choose the best option I can. I can't wait to start taking pictures of the birds on the hill in front of our house <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Thank you for your help again</blockquote>
