I was in the same situation. I ended up with a Lumix FZ200 (about $75 in LN condition) for a river cruise down the Rhine. It was the perfect camera for shooting from the boat, especially on overcast or drizzly days. I used the "happy" mode to make things "pop" a little. Note that I am 83 yo, with really bad legs, so it was a little too heavy for shore excursions, where I used a Canon s110. Someone in better shape could probably use the fz200 more.

As indicated by other readers, cameras with larger sensors will probably give somewhat better results, but with many trade-offs (cost, weight, constant f2.8 aperature, zoom reach, and versatility). I found the results from the fz200 more than adequate.

Note that the fz300 is basically the same as the fz200, but with weather sealing, heavier weight, and higher cost.

Hope that this helps.

If I remember correctly, the fz300 does not have the constant aperture. $75 on the fz200. That was a bargain. I guess you’re not selling it.

I second the SONY RX100 VII. The best bridge camera. Have taken it from Antarctica to Namibia
with great results. 24-200 lens. If purchasing also get Alexander White's book on the camera.
Very well written and it covers everything!


Very good camera. And a lot more expensive! The lumix 200 is not the same camera, yes, but has a longer range & constant 2.8 for much less money used. I have a Nikon p900 that does well but is heavier to carry around all the time. Thought the fz200 would fill that niche when I wanted to carry something lighter with the decent range of 24-600. If I am concerned about really good quality I would also have my Nikon d7500 or d7000 with me, both with really good lenses. The lumix 300 is good but does not have the constant 2.8 aperture. The tx 200 can also be bought for under $200 used. I think there are a couple of others on the forum that have the fz200.

Thought I might look for a lumix d200 for a light weight carry camera with a good reach instead of always carrying one of my heavier Nikon DSLR’s all the time. Comments?

Back in 1983 I came back from a three week horse camping trip with a three week growth. Decided, what the heck ,lets see where this goes. Haven't shaved since; just quick trim. Had a mustache a few years only before that. Beats shaving everyday.

I may be selling my Nikon d5200 for $250. Good camera in at least very good to excellent condition. Just aren’t using it enough since I have several other Nikon DSLR’s. Seeing if there is any interest in this model. Don’t know how to post a picture.

Plays havoc with vhf & uhf radio signals. Amateur radio operators will notice this when their signals reach considerably longer distances on occasion. Used to do that back the days of cb radios as well. Back in he 70's, once talked to a cb'er in Alaska while I was in Austin, Tx. Any of you back in the day of cb"s will remember this.

As a Nikon user I would be interested in the question he had as well. Maybe he could get an answer from someone on the UHH forum.
