I am going on a cruise to Alaska in May and am looking to buy a new camera. We need a really long zoom, with a minimum of 30x. We are not looking to purchase a DSLR because we are not professionals and do not wish to carry the heavy equipment around. We also do not want to pay more than $300 (excluding tax and accessories), as we already have the trip to pay for. However, we are not going all the way to Alaska to get bad pictures! We have been looking at the Nikon Coolpix L820 (it is brand new and there are no customer reviews, however, its predecessor, the L810 got really good reviews). The Nikon Coolpix P510 is also of interest (the newer one, the P520, is too expensive for us) and the Canon Powershot SX500. Both of these, however, are older cameras (about 6 months to a year I believe). Does anyone have any suggestions as to which of the 3 is better? I have done my research and it seems the Coolpix P510 is the best if you can afford it, and next would be the Coolpix L820. Would appreciate any thoughts/input.
Thank you.
