I bought the Canon SX50 this year after missing too many birding photo ops because I didn't want to lug around the DSLR. I like it a lot for birding, but it has its limitations. On the plus side is the zoom lens (1200mm equiv) with image stabilization. It also has a button that lets you temporarily zoom out to locate the bird, then when you release the button, it zooms back. This takes a little practice but works fairly well when the bird isn't moving around too much. I haven't had much luck with fast-moving birds (either in the air or flitting around in foliage), but then I haven't practiced too much. Image quality from the small sensor will not ever be as good as a DSLR. But for documenting sightings, it's hard to beat this camera.
