Re: PowerShot or EOS? Quadriplegic user

On your use case and in that $500 range I'd think about the Panasonic FZ300 . Same caveats about JPEG rendering (I'd mainly shoot RAW with it) and menu friendliness, and a typical bridge cam small sensor. But the brilliant thing is f/2.8 for the full telephoto length, that means fast shutter (handheld) regardless of zoom e.g. indoors. I often think of that in the greenhouse lighting of Allen Gardens Conservatory here in Toronto. The way apertures slam shut on zoom is the biggest problem with zoomers, unless you fancy ISO noise.  A 600 mm telephoto isn't to sneeze at except for birders, and I recall from long exchanges here years ago that it supports lens extenders and filters if wanted.
