Re: Please suggest me a camera for my father

You say he wants relatively good low light ability relative to a Canon 600D, so that eliminates the Nikon, the FZ and the Stylus.

You need to check if he really wants a viewfinder. Some older people (like me) need bifocals to use a back screen and also see the distant scene we are photographing, so a viewfinder is a great help because we only need long distance. I would not be happy for long with no viewfinder, either electronic or optical.

If he doesn't need the viewfinder, the E-PL6 is a good pick. Small in hand with the normal lens, then pop on the compact tele zoom for longer.

If he does need the viewfinder, and if swapping lenses is a nuisance, then the G5 and 14-140 is a good combo.
