Panasonic LX-100. It’s a lot more portable than my DLSR, and has really good image quality in low light (for a compact camera). I’ve just bought into the M43 range so I’ll see if this changes over the coming months.

Walking by the stream and this big white flash flew past me, alighting on a nearby tree.

Is the Sigma/Tamron 600 better than say the Canon 400 with an extender?

For years average holiday camera, point and shoot compact I think the answer is yes. For hoobyists and up, no. There is still a market for higher quality cameras with greater flexibility,. Also camera phone even now are quite general and not great for specialist areas (macro, sports etc.).

Probably not what you need given the lighting but if you want to try a cheaper version I've got a 400mm 5.6 for sale?

Don’t listen to the fools saying you are stupid to send money to someone you don’t know. I’ve bought loads of items via forums (including this one) where I’ve sent money via BT to a stranger and I’ve not been scammed. Yes it might happen in future, but I do what due diligence I can and trade...

Have you though of a mini printer like the Canon Selphy? You can get a battery for full portability, reduced cost and less compromises vs an Instax.

I love the dynamism and the central nature of the shot, I'd have preferred the station arch to be sharp.

I know this is in the critique section but could you host the basics of the lighting set up for us beginners, especially number 3 which I really love.

Everyone is highlighting the processing. I'm just at the beginning of what will be a looooong journey into post processing. What are the basics applied here, particularly pic 3 which really stands out to me?

Welcome. I like landscape and architecture too but really struggle with composition (then lighting, focus.....). See you around the place.

I like number 2. Number 1 is a great shot but I'm distracted by the lack of a gap between the bottom two planes, sets my OCD radar off!

Not really photography related but linked to meaning about pain for the things we love (don't worry, no wife jokes approaching). I referee rugby after giving up playing due t too many injuries. Each game means at least 2 days of pain/recovery and general hobbling around, particularly stairs...

Yep, I'm thinking more of sticking with the LX100. Why pay more for a camera with more zoom but less IQ? I don't want the bulk of the SLR, even with say a small 10-22mm lens. Decision made (for now!) - stick with the LX100, and don't worry about the close ups of the game.

I've got a nifty fifty, but for walk around mainly use a Tamron 24-70 VC. I could take this fairly easily, it's not ideal for the walk around bag I want to take which is a fairly thin messenger style bag, but is would fit.
