I have enjoyed photography for years, beginning in my 20's with the Canon AE-1 with FD lenses, then EOS 3 (my favorite) and 3 lovely "L" lenses, and finally an EOS 5D Mark II. Last year I realized I had not been out shooting for quite awhile. My gear had gotten too heavy to cart around. I sold it all and thought my photo days were over. Ha. I really miss having a camera in my hand and getting lost in a subject. Mostly I enjoy shooting old structures - barns & farmhouses when I lived in Wisconsin, ghost towns in Arizona where I live now, and a little macro. Another site suggested this forum so here I am. Looking forward to finding just the right camera and getting out there again. * "Tree" parent counselor at a Brownie Day Camp thus Barketh.

ANYway, look at carious bridge cameras. The Nikon P1000 and (P900} are well liked.

Welcome to UHH! You might try a Bridge camera such as a Canon SX60, Lumix FZ80, or Lumix FZ1000 as a lighter weight option. Many here on UHH really like the Sony RX10 Mark IV with a 1" sensor and a 600mm Zoom, although it is pricey. Another option would be a mirrorless system such as the Fuji X-T3 or Sony A6500.
It's Shakespearian: "Methinks yon dog barketh too much."
Welcome to the Hog, enjoy.
