Magnificent! Takes my breath away!
Just have it shipped to your neighbor or family member.

Could have thrown away something that someone else may have liked, for some reason.
There were no adult children and their grown siblings were not interested (in both cases).
Recently helped clear home of cousins that had passed. No kids. There were 15 boxes w/8-10 photo albums in each box. Several photos were saved. The balance: thrown out. Same with my brother-in-law’s 12 boxes of slides. Pulled 20 slides to scan. Discarding the rest. What remains of value when we’re gone? The family’s not interested in old photos of standing beside old friends, long forgotten, at the edge of the Grand Canyon…black bears eating fish in a stream.
Our photos bring us joy, but our 10K of photos need to be culled, regularly, so when we are gone there will be a few of the great-grand ancestors, a few of our favorites, but then…what will have value for the next generation? Not much.
Holding onto things, it’s a weighty responsibility, and what is the payoff?

You should be able to use PayPal, if you have a verified account there, or even if you don't. That way you don't have to give them your bank information. All they need is your email address.
And you are right...in this day and age you can't be too careful. If they won't go the PayPal route then I would look elsewhere. Legitimate outfits will use PayPal all day long.
Insist on PayPal or Venmo. It’s super easy, and everyone is protected. Or find another buyer.

Totally different cameras. One has a 25X zoom, the other a 3X. One is a bridge camera, one is a pocketable model. I would have compared it to the DMC-FZ2500 or DC-FZ1000 II.
Thanks for that clarification. Helpful.

I’ve done my homework which is why I bought the Sony RX10MIV. Here you are again, pushing your crappy add-on telephoto and posting a link to a comparison that doesn’t even include one of the cameras in question. I’m sure your reasons for your choice work for you, but EVERY reason you give was distinctly stated to NOT be important to the OP. I’ve had and shot Lumix cameras and liked a lot of things about them. They often have unique features I’ve found useful. The one area they’ve consistently come up short is speed of focus. They’re fine for static subjects but for wildlife and action the can’t come close to the RX10MIV, which has the same autofocus system as their full frame A9.

Do you imagine the Lumix LX-10 would be slow to focus with a 1.4 aperture?
