I'm 14 and very good at taking picture, and not off me in the mirror making duck face…
I love photography and I'm going to be taking pictures of horses and their riders at the stable I ride at(also I'm taking my family Christmas photos) I have a Nikon Cool pix and it works pretty good and I've had it for a year now but my parents picked it out and that wasn't the one I wanted so for Christmas I'm going to ask my parents for another camera. I want a good brand that's reliable and lasts a long time, one that takes pictures quickly and you can twist the lense for fast zoom and stuff, and under $200 if possible(we don't have much money for Christmas this year)
thank you xoxo -C

Added (1). Thanks Basement Cat, sorry, lol I didn't even check that, my friend spilled juice on my computer a month ago and If I don't press really hard on some of the keys it won't type anything and others will type double: P haha. That camera looks good, i'm probably going to ask for that one.

Firstly, go back to school and learn basic grammar.
I would recommend a bridge camera
I have been looking at this camera myself, and definitely considering it. (I'm 13 by the way.)

Yes, a Fujifilm Finepix bridge camera will be your best bet. They have one at Target / Wallymart.
