Excellent photo. Is this a DSLR camera, too? Can you briefly tell me the main difference between such a camera and a mere digital camera? I mean, what's the main advantage?

DSLR cameras give better bokeh images. DSLR cameras use removable lenses, so you can change different lenses to create different effects, reflecting the creativity of the photographer. DSLR cameras have a wider ISO range, faster shutter speeds, quicker focus and less noise, resulting in higher quality images. If you love photography and want to explore the colorful and exciting world of photography yourself, not just to capture life's images, DSLRs are just what you need.
Thanks a lot for the explanation. I don't think that's for me, then. I prefer a camera that I can easily carry, and without having the fuss of exchanging lenses. That's way to professional for me.
PS: I had to look up the work "bokeh." Never heard that term before. :-P
Nothing! You can use a versatile lens (the lens I'm using) if you don't want to change the lens :)
I understand but I think a nice compact digital camera is the best for me. :-D
My camera is quite old, already. I'm thinking about this one: https://www.canon-europe.com/cameras/powershot-sx730-hs/
You have made the right choice, I think it is very suitable for your purpose. This camera features the very ok Zoom Framing Assist.
I'm really curious about this one. I have to try and test it, first. My camera has a 5x Zoom. 40x would be an incredible upgrade!
If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. It's a good camera, and it's especially good if you need the 40x zoom. If you don't need it though, then you should consider the other specs too. There are always tradeoffs. This is no exception. It's a good camera for the price and out performs a lot of others in the same price range. Overall though consider:
To conclude, 40x zoom is like the best thing about the camera and it definitely leads to tradeoffs that IMHO aren't working if portability is your preference. This camera is basically a portable telephoto lens. Lucky that we live in an age where smartphones are so amazing that a good smartphone could make up for the tradeoffs.
One way to think of it is that the zoom is actually inversely proportionate to the other specs on the camera. As you sacrifice your zoom, your other specs will improve. This is especially the case with aperture. Zoom lenses in general are really not just rated by their actual zoom, but also by the maximum aperture. The higher the aperture, the more expensive the lens. Unfortunately, the bigger the lens, the lower the aperture. Take for example this camera, https://www.sony.com/electronics/cyber-shot-compact-cameras/dsc-rx100m5
That camera is ridiculous. It's specs are obscene. I mean 1" sensor!!! 0.05s autofocus! 315 autofocus points! The zoom though is only 70mm. It's barely a 2.5x zoom. Anyway, just trying to compare the tradeoffs.
40x optical zoom is quite good! I'm looking for a compact camera - but I have this attachment to viewfinders...which most of the new small cameras don't have :/ All of the powershot models have been pretty good as far as I know.
