I am an elderly gent and my Nikon D7000 which I love is getting a tad heavy with a long lens. I am vaguely thinking perhaps I ought to go to a bridge.
It has to have a 50x reach, be capable of raw and not too worried about price.
Any suggestions and will I lose much in quality?
I have a tripod and a monopod but they are not practical at air shows which is my favourite.
I recently made a similar change-over and now use the Canon SX-50 with great ease and comfort. No heavy gear to carry around. I'm retired and older than Methuselah, but still enjoy taking decent photos. Just don't want to lug all that stuff around any more. The SX-50 satisfies me.
