Wow, what a difference from you first post. Very nice. Panasonic (Lumix) makes a great camera. My wife wanted a lighter, multi functional camera. I bought her a Lumix DMC FZ 1,000. I have a Canon 6d, full frame ,

GPS and more.

This sounds like something you might like. The down side is that it is a heavy camera for traveling. Once you start adding lenses, flash, tripod and so on.

I liked my wife's Lumix so much I went out and bought one for myself. I now use that for my travel/vacation camera. My Canon I use for local shoots. Sports, grand-kids, macro photography and so on.

Have fun shopping.

My DSLRs (Nikon D50, D7000, and D7100) did not have built-in GPS (although Nikon has a device that fits on the hot shoe to do it)--I am glad because I don't want to run down the camera battery with it (GPS requires a while to "boot up" and for camera use pretty much means the camera needs to be left ON for it to be useful). Instead, on my trips and tours, where I desire GPS information, I carry a little GPS logger device that has its own battery. I have I-gotU units and their battery is charged via USB and is good for about 15-20 hours; I charge it while downloading the data to my laptop each evening and am ready for the next day's activities. The only disadvantage of using an external uncoupled device is that for the coordinates to be synchronized with the pictures the camera clock has to be pretty accurate (at highway speeds--60mph--one second's error equates to 88 feet location error, but it's less a problem when walking). I set the camera clock each day using the Internet time via my laptop and that works. The I-gotU unit is about half the size of an art-gum eraser and very easy to carry. It comes with software to do the location interpretation.

OK OK, next post a side by side comparison of the cameras... and upload the photos so we can see at 100x...

I like your dog, but more than like the crow photos they are outstanding. You took the crow photos at grass level very good indeed. Too often people 6'+ tall take the photos of children and we see only the top of their heads camera level is important, you did very well with the crow.. impressive.

Flowers a bit fuzzy.... did you use spot focus on them? since you did not upload them we have no details.
