I could use a wee bit of advice. Currently I own the Fz150, FZ200 & G12. I like to photograph the sky (sunrises, sunsets, clouds, and occasionally the stars) and wildlife.
I'm poking around for a new camera. I'd like better low light capabilities for photographing the stars, more color depth for the sunrises and sunsets, and more reach for the wildlife and, of course, really good autofocus is useful for the wildlife. (and maybe I can't get everything I want in one package)
Anyhow, here are the candidates:
- A6000, really good sensor, really great autofocus, but no lenses with great reach
- FZ1000, better sensor than what I have, good autofocus (I think) reach comparable to what I have.
- Nikon 1 V3 with kitzoom and 70-3000cx, better sensor (?), outstanding reach, good autofocus
- Olympus OMD-X with kitzoom and 100-300, better sensor, comparable reach to my present camera, autofocus (?)
- Panasonic GX7 with kitzoom and 100-300, better sensor, comparable reach, autofocus (?)
So let's pretend I'm your very best pal; what would you recommend? Or perhaps something else?
Cheers, Jock
