Help me to choose
I find the some 840mm a bit too much. Way too much in fact.
I have the (previous version) SX20 as a second camera and the
560mm is just right. Any more is ridiculousness .... lol.
(also includes macro & super macro)
If you can find the SX20 (old stock by now so would be a good price)
go for it over the SX30. A perfect travel cam.
Or, if it's Canon your after (and price range) go for the Rebel T3
with (example) 18-250mm zoom.
Happy trails

I also agree about giving all cameras a test drive. As nice as it is to hear opinions from us, there are a few who will be bias to certain brands. There will always be a debate between Nikon and Canon. So go check them out and also ignore the sales person opinions on the brands (listen to the facts, ignore the opinions) and based your choice on the one you enjoy using.
