i would like a point and shoot type camera (my bridge camera is too heavy for me these days), that has a big sensor, a decent zoom, shoots RAW, shoots clear, crisp photos, preferably with a view finder. I just bought the Lumix SZ70 and it sucks -- the pictures are very noisy. I was using the auto settings. I previously had the FZ1000 and loved it and the photo quality was great but as I said it was just getting too heavy for me (health issues). Any suggestions would be welcome. I've gone through the reviews and they just confuse me more, LOL. thanks in advance for your help.

Check dpreview.com... there are a couple of buying guides there. Would include the link, but on my mobile.

Have you figure out how to post the image? I think the SZ70 isn't all that much worse than the FZ1000.

Would an APS-C (crop) sensor be big enough? Take a serious look at Fuji cameras, esp. the X-E3 (brand new), X-T20 (or previous X-T10 model which is still available as new or used), the flagship X-T2 or the great X100F (which I use).

thanks for that info. I'm unfamiliar with the type of sensor you mentioned - I'll have to research it.

thanks for replying. in my experience the FZ1000 is 100 x better than this point and shoot which I bought. I never had any noise issues with it.

In the future, you might want to use “Quote Reply” so folks know who you are responding to. It is a great way to tie your topic and responses together.

yes I did attach a jpeg previously - i really wanted to attach the RAW file but it not allow it
I'm attaching another file which I converted from raw to jpeg then used strong denoise on it - it still looks terrible. I think I will be sending the camera back. thanks for your help through
