When I travel, I also carry my Tamron 18-270 on my D7200. Great combination. If I want to keep my weight down, I carry my Panasonic FZ1000 instead.
Yesterday I posted that I have a Dell Desktop that I think would meet your requirements, that I would let you have for $700 plus shipping. Are you interested?
I have a computer I'm trying to sell for $700. Used less than a year. Dell XPS 8940
Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700 processor(8-Core, 16M Cache, 2.5GHz to 4.9GHz)
Hard Drives: 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive + 2TB 7200RPM Hard Drive
RAM: 16GB, 2x8GB, DDR4, 2933Mhz
Graphics Card: NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GTX 1650 SUPER 4GB GDDR6
Operating System: Windows 10 Home English
Update on the final result. I used a hair dryer to dry out the camera and put it in a sealed bag with silica gel packets, and I put the lenses in brown rice for 3 days. I pulled out the camera and it seemed to work with a different lens. I tried the other lenses and they had internal moisture and dirt and didn't work. I put another lens on the camera and it worked for a dozen shots before I got an error message and now it won't even turn on. I've bought a used replacement Nikon D7200 from MPB so I should have a working camera in a week or two. One lens was a Nikon 18-200mm zoom, but I have a Tamron 18-270mm lens, so I won't replace the Nikon lens. The other lens, which was in my bag, is a Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di VC USD macro. I'm going to miss that lens, but I have extension tubes and will use them instead of replacing the lens.
I put my cell phone in a sealed bag with silica gel packets for 3 days but it still won't turn on.
So, the total cost was $160 for the phone and $519 for the camera and the loss of the macro lens.
Thanks. I started looking at camera upgrades and didn't like the prices; even used. The D7200 does everything I want to do so I ended up getting another D7200 used on MPB for $519. Even if my dunked one works, I don't want to take the chance of it stopping at an event due to internal corrosion. 🤞
I tripped and went in the water with my Nikon D7200 and a couple lenses. The camera was off and I immediately removed the battery and cards. I put the camera in sealed bag with silica gel packs and I put the lens in brown rice. I plan on turning the camera on after 72 hours. Any other advice? I've been told that even if the camera works it could fail at anytime. Any body had a similar experience?
For shooting birds, I use a Sigma 150-600 lens. Tamron has the same lens.
I lived in Rochester NY for 45 years and I have photos of over 50 waterfalls. Most on my website at

I use ON1 Photo Raw exclusively. However, the latest version upgrade froze whenever I tried to use it. After several fixes from ON1 that didn't work, they finally sent me the earlier version which works fine. But, I was without ON1 for a week.
I have the Panasonic Lumix FZ1000. I have large hands and it fits perfectly. I use it and my Nikon D7200 and there is no difference in feel.
I have used ON1 exclusively for several years now. When I was using LR, I would have to go to PS most of the time to get the effect that I wanted. So now I had the original file plus the PS file. With ON1 everything is in one program and I have just the non-destructive RAW file left that I can re-edit anytime that I want.
I switched to the Panasonic FZ1000. It is very light. Not a DSLR, but it has a 1" sensor and takes very good photos. I've carried it in Europe and forget I have it on my camera strap. It also shoots RAW.
I just purchased the Canon TR8520 ($180). Really impressed with the photo and text quality.
With a mirrorless you are still carrying lens around. I went to the Panasonic FZ1000 and love it. Very lightweight and 1" sensor gets good photos.
