Evening all,
As I once prolific snapper on a series of Nikon dSLRs, I've fallen out of the habit of taking my camera with me, whether on holiday or otherwise. The bulk and impracticality of lugging around a bag filled with the D7000, Tokina 11-16mm, a 50mm prime and a zoom lens is just too much for me.
That said, the poor substitute of a mobile phone doesn't scratch my photographic itch. In order to get me back into carrying (and thus photographing), I've been looking at bridge cameras small enough for me not to feel saddled with them, in particular the Sony RX10 IV and Panasonic FZ2500.
I've been out of the game for so long that I don't trust myself with a purchase just yet, however, and I thought I'd run back to the forum that's always been so helpful to me when I've been learning the art. How have people who've moved from dSLR to bridge found the transition and is it likely to satisfy me? As I see it, taking photos even if they're not as good as they'd be on a dSLR is better than never taking the photo in the first place!
Regards,
A.
