Dear Fediverse #HiveMind, my grandson needs some advice for a (used) #DigitalCamera. He is 11 & interested in birds, which he'd like to take photos of. He's not particularly interested in #Photography per se, just as a means to an end, and probably not particularly careful. I'm thinking a #CompactCamera like some of the Panasonics; his father was wondering about a #BridgeCamera. We have a XQ2 he can use (24-100e zoom) but I suspect he'd be better with longer reach. Maybe £200 budget. Any ideas?
