It always puts me in a bad mood when responses on UHH resort to “Why don’t you just google it?” Which implies, “Why are you wasting our time?” I just thought the point of forums like this was to share, to question, and to teach. Oh, and to communicate with humans rather than algorithms.

I just got the LUMIX zs70 and loved it for the first 4 days, until the zoom and af stopped working. Great little camera, but for the price, it should last at least a week. I’ll return it to Adorama when I get home from vacation, but I don’t know if it’s a lemon, or just an unreliable camera.

All of these positive comments made me salivate and I went on Adorama and ordered the ZS70 this afternoon. Just got an email that it will be delivered tomorrow. Adorama is amazing. I hope the camera is too. Just the size I need for trip to Morocco in November.

Thanks. I usually bypass warranties also, but this is for a refurbished p600 and is so cheap that I wonder about it. And I'm also careful, but you never know. I had my a6000 in a waterproof box tied tightly on my kayak, when I flipped, the box hit a rock and goodbye camera.

Anyone have experience with New Leaf Warranty on Adorama?

Thanks again to all who responded. You have reminded me why I take pictures. Reading hedgehog every day made me think that I was missing out by not using my Sony to its full potential. Your comments and advice are so logical and I am going to charge my batteries, set it on auto, and move forward. And read the manual and recommended books. And ignore my frustration by focusing on one change at a time. Thanks for your advice and pep talks.

Not quite ready to sell. Still deciding. Sorry. I'll get back to you if I can ever make up my mind.

Thanks for your replies. Especially Cwilson. I love what my Sony can do on auto, but I often feel that I need to do more. I guess I'm really trying to impress myself, when I should just enjoy it for the hobby it is.

I started into photography late in life and I've tried to become adept at shooting manual, aperture, etc, but I am not quick enough to make adjustments on the fly and miss many shots. Plus, the Sony is so smart that auto beats my attempts 99% of the time. Am I alone in finding photography difficult?
I travel often and I think I would prefer a good bridge camera that is easier to pack and wouldn't make me feel like I'm driving a BMW in second gear when I shoot in auto.
So I'm thinking about selling my like-new Sony a6000 mirrorless, with 18-50 kit lens and 55-210 zoom. Is there interest and what would be a fair price? They're in perfect condition.
I've been looking at replacing it with the Panasonic fz-1000. I've read reviews and it's in my price range. Any comments?

I am thinking about selling my like-new Sony a6000 mirrorless, with 18-50 kit lens, 55-210 zoom and various extras (4 batteries, extra cables, etc.). All are approx 1 year old, with little use. Is there interest and what would be a fair price? They're in perfect condition. I travel often and would prefer a good bridge camera that is easier to pack and shoot. Will consider offers.

Thanks. It's all packed up. I'll ship tomorrow and email you details.

It uses a standard SD card (included) which fits in most computers.

It really worked far better than I expected. It was really nice to see all these slides that had been sitting in a box for 20 years.

Take all those stacks of 35 mm slides and negatives and easily convert them into digital images to preserve forever. Simple to use. One button, 5 seconds per image. No computer, software or batteries required. All images are saved on included SD card for upload to computer or tv.
Scanner was purchased new and used once. In like-new condition. All items shown in picture are included.

$35 plus $10 for shipping
