I am not fond of a camera but just for my wife sake I buy Nikon Coolpix 500, and I tell you I loved it. 40x Optical zoom and 4k recording, It is the fully automatic camera but you can use it as manually also if you know how to use it. For 1st timer like me, I recommend Nikon Coolpix 500 for every one. Shutter speed is also good and picture quality is superb, user-friendly very handy to use even your kids can use it, you will get rechargeable cells so you can charge them and they give you 6 hrs battery life if you used continuously
