I'll bring it up to him, although he would be loath to give up the long focal length. He is less interested in the photography than in the birding (wants to be an biologist when he grows up) and generally uses the long end (1200 mm equivalent) of his camera to take shots that he can later pull up on the computer to identify species. So, I suspect he would be not too amenable to stepping down to 400mm, IQ notwithstanding!
I had an SX60 HS, and for your son's intended purpose, IMHO it will be great - low cost, light and compact, with decent IQ and reach. Video is nice too. Of course, it won't do BIFs, and the IQ of DSLRs + big whites is in another level comparatively, especially when one wants to print big.
But if DSLRs + big whites were to be universally banned tomorrow, I'll still be happily birding, with an SX60 HS.
