ok. it looks like the sony III or IV are my best options.
both weigh in under 3 lbs. My main problem is a heavy camera and lens is almost impossible hold still without a tripod, which limits my ability to change position quickly. I do not have tremors, never have so I think I can hold a lighter camera pretty still.
they both have a single zoom lens that is pretty good, especially combined with a 1" sensor. other mirrorless cameras, require different lenses and I doubt that here are 600mm lenses available that would keep the price below 1700$. Especially since I would need a least one more shorter lens.
and The fast auto focus on the IV is attractive, since that is the othr issue I have with the 5300/sigma 599mm combo I have.
If anyone knows of any brand of camera that has these features, weight, AF and price please let me know.
Thanks

I have had PD for about 11 years, probably longer but that is when i went to a neurologist and confirmed my symptoms. I currently have a nikon 5300 with a Sigma 500 mm zoom for birds and the like. My wife thinks I s should get a point and shoot, since they are light, have great zoom and take good photos. She has a cool Pix 500, and she does get pretty good results. But what do you loose with that small sensor?
i would like to get a mirrorless, but then you are back to having heavy lenses aren't you?

The fine art world that you speak of, i would guess is more than hobby photographs. "Real" fine artists whether the are painters, draftsmen or photographers are busy all a and a lot of their time is spent not making art, but networking, talking with galleries and eve museums. I think tat many of them have a spiel to go along with their shots, and I don't say that in a derogatory way, just when you're trying to sell your work especially the abstract photos that you show, potential buyers are likely to be sold by what it means, or what you are saying.
good luck

Yesterday, I drove to Richland County, WI to check out the leaf displays. They were not all that colorful, but it has been a warm fall, so it is what it is. The problem seems to be the focus on leaves . I seem to always get kind of blurred shots. Is this my fault, or the lens, or something different. Using a Nikon 5300 and the kit lens AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II. VR on, AF on and off. Hand held.

Which do you prefer Color or Antique - Drug Store in the French Quarter.

The credit given by the company store was for products so overpriced that the miners never got out of debt. They were also located in remote mining sites that their customers had no choice . That is why Tennessee owed his soul.

Sorry anyone who took my post seriously. I was simply playing off what has happened in the music recording industry when CD's were claiming they had the best sound ever. Until many folks sold their LP collection, the trend reversed.

Thanks for the tip. Everything goes on ebay today! 
I am getting much, much better pictures from my digital cameras and digital processing than I ever did from film prints. That's all because of technology, not my photographic skill. I said goodbye to film and hello to digital, and I'm not going back.
