I, also, have an SX50. Which model Lumix did you get? I'd consider it if my SX50 goes.
I bought a Lumix DC-FZ80 package from Walmart.com
It was the Lowest Bidder than Amazon's DC-FZ80 Package under $500.00.
It came with a Case W/Shoulder Strap, a Flash/Digital Slave Light Flash, with Bracket, A Video Flash, also with A Bracket, a 12 Inch Tripod that Bends, a Kit Cleaning Kit, but No 55mm Filter.
The Lumix itself has 18-2000 Zoom Lens, No Fold Out Back Screen like my Pocket Lumix & Swivel (NOW Not Operating SX50), 18 Megapixels (2 Short Megapixels than my Pocket DC-ZS70, which that Camera has 20 Megapixels).
It also has one Feature... that's a Double Exposure Mode.
I haven't Took it out & gave it its Run Yet, still Practicing on Camera & Knowing it's Features
My SX50 Died on Me 2 Weeks ago when I was Putting the Charged up Battery in & I forgot to Zip up the Case & it Fell out of the Case on the Floor & the Focusing was Out of Whack & when I Zoomed, it Shut Down, I guess the Gears Jammed up!
After given advice on UHH on how to Repair my SX50, I decided to buy the Lumix Bridge Camera, DC-FZ80 & got a Package like I did in November 2021, Buying the Pocket DC-ZS70, to Replace my Stolen Canon Powershot SX150, which got Stolen a Week Before, I got a Package Deal from Amazon, Ran me Over $300 Bills, but that Came with a Case, 16 Megapixel Card, a Card Reader & an envelope to Download Photo Creative Books.
& what's Irony... I Bought a Replacement Canon Powershot 150 from eBay for under $50.00 just before I Placed my Wal-Mart Order the Day After Easter & I use it for Backup for my Pocket Lumix DC-ZS70 & it was Delivered in 3 Days, the DC-FZ80 Package was Delivered in 2 Days.
