Looking for a new camera to take to Africa. I don't think we will ever progress to the stage of using many manual settings, so think a DSLR might be overkill. Good zoom, image stabilization, and ability to take many frames per second are probably most important factors along with quality pictures. We went to Best Buy today and saw two radically different cameras that caught our eye. First a Canon SX60 with tremendous zoom but a little concerned about action pix and second a Sony A6000 mirrorless DSLR with a 16-55 lens and ability to add 50-210 lens. This camera shot 11 frames per second and was, according to salesman, very good in low light.

Any thoughts on these two cameras? What is so good about mirrorless? Recommendations for other cameras we should consider?

thanks,

Marc
