I was told you'd never find a too long lens for birds.
The FZ80 fits very much to my budget and usage; I will check against the FZ1000 for comparison

FZ1000 has a 16x zoom and almost 3 years older model, other feature about the same but ask for more money.

I checked the SX730 which has a shorter zoom and can't shoot raw and not 4K video and photo; the only advantage could be water-proof.

I've owned a couple of FZ cameras with excellent results from both. Not pocketable, but light and easy on the neck and back. Why not the FZ1000? or are you looking for something that's pocketable?

It is faster to learn on You-Tube. Just search on Photoshop for beginners, you will be greeted by dozens.

May I suggest it is time to try a full frame Nikon.
I was told that when you upgrade your TV, I should buy the biggest I can afford.
I bought my D610 new 3 years ago, and now probably cost $500-600 used, and have been happy with it still.
The good thing about FF Nikon is that you can have many choices of old vintage film lens at a bargain.
It is your choice that you probably have to abide by your new camera for several years

or

I believe they are better as they have 1" sensor, but DSC RX100 MK VI(about $1200) and RX10 MK IV(about $1700) as compare to the FZ80(about $300)
The Sonys have shorter zoom though. I wonder the quality of wildlife photos which the Sonys require cropping to bring out the same size of the FZ80s

I have a D610 and a walk around lens 24-85mm(nonVR), a 70-200 and 200-400. I have planned a solo trip (already purchase the flights) to Macho Picchu, Galapogos and Panama City in Oct.
I think my gears are too heavy for this trip, so I intend to buy something lighter within buget.
After researching on Nikon P900, Canon SX60 & Lumix FZ80, I find the FZ80(under $350) most interesting especially the 4K photo(shoot and focus later).
Does anyone own a FZ80? Please provide your impression.
Has anyone have any good suggestions?

I would like to see photos immediately as I take them on my laptop (Dell) or tablet (Samsung), via D600. I shoot sunrises, sunsets, beach landscapes and would like to see if I got what I wanted, and make any necessary adjustments to settings, and re-shoot if needed. Could I hard wire connect to the laptop? Software?
Thank you for your suggestions.
Thank you for your suggestions.
I think D600 requires this to become wifi capable

I just checked a NEF file in Lightroom, right click on an image file: metadata : save metadata to file.
It will save an xmp file onto the same folder and then open it with MS Word. On the 2nd page, 5th line, you would see << aux:ImageNumber="23377" >> which I believe it is the shutter-count number.

I loved Kodachrome II. Shot a lot of it. Recently had color slides from my honeymoon 44 years ago (in the UK) digitized. Color is still vivid!
P.S. There's a Netflix movie called "Kodachrome" staring Ed Harris. Good movie.

yeah, enough is enough except a few more question.
How many years you usually keep your camera or phone? Dslr uses previous old lens.
How often you drop and crack your camera or phone? I cracked my phone at least once.
How often is your camera/phone got stolen or misplaced? I misplaced and lost my phone at least once.

I have a problem with my dslr, but I will keep using mine till I perfect my skill.
