If you're looking a long-zoom camera, you can check out our Top 5 list.

Since you're a casual photographer, you may want to choose models which are more user-friendly, such as the Nikon Coolpix L100 which uses AA-sized batteries. You may also not require features such as HD-video recording or RAW image capture. So it's best to make a list of functions you will want to have in a megazoom camera and head to the store with it.
