A friend would like to move from his phone camera to a "real" camera. Wondering if anyone has a bridge camera that they would recommend?
He would like to find something in the $500. range. I have been "Googling" for recommendations but would be interested if any of our members have
a camera that they would recommend?

I've been using a Panasonic fz 300 for 4 years and am totally satisfied.

Highlights important to my style of photography:

* good glass - Leica lens 25-600 mm zoom (35 mm eqv) with f/2.8 throughout the range

* fully automatic and manual modes available

    * remote shutter release available
    * decent video capabilities
    * electronic view finder

* fully articulated LCD touch sensitivity

* jpg + raw

* wifi control

Points to consider:

camera is 2015 model

12 megapixel

not pocketable

PSE 21, On1 Photo RAW 22, Image Composite Editor, Windows 10

Regards,
Pete
