My dad's looking for a super zoom compact to replace his Samsung PL211 27-270mm equivalent f/3.3-5.9 1/2.3", I was thinking of perhaps the Sony DSC-HX50V, is this a good choice? He is looking for a replacement primarily because he wants more reach for wildlife photos like birds.
 
Just browsing Junes edition of practical photography magazine and they review:

Nikon P520
Canon SX50
Fuji X-S1
Panasonic Lumix FZ200

Nikon came out top except on battery life and non ability to do RAW.

Those are all bridge cameras, my dad's looking for a compact.
