Getting mom a camera for Mother's Day. Yeah I waited till the last minute! lol
Looking mainly at Nikon and Canon, but others brands are fine w me. I dont know much about cameras or photography. Mom takes some good pics of us riding and the horses but she is not what I would consider an educated photographer. Would like a decent zoom as it is not always possible to get right there near the jumps or whatever she is shooting. Must be good for action shots! What I am kind of looking at is BuyDig.com - Nikon COOLPIX P510 16.1MP 42x Opt Zoom 3.0 LCD Digital Camera 8GB Black Bundle
or BuyDig.com - Canon Powershot SX40 HS 35x Zoom 12.1 MP Digital Camera w/ 2.7" Vari-Angle LCD but def open to other options.
I know that each photographer has his/her own preferences but which of these might be better for action shots of the horses (will ask in the horse forum as well)
Or what would your recommendations be for a good camera for her for under $400? Also have to ad that she refuses to use an lcd screen and must have the eye holey thing (viewfinder maybe?) to look thru.
