I currently have a Panasonic G80 with a couple of lenses, reason I got it was I was looking into a smaller lighter camera for taking on long walks and holidays.
I used it recently on holiday and spent so much time faffing over settings etc I didn't spend much time enjoying being off work and enjoying family time, wish I had taken my compact camera or used my phone.
As for walking, that's gone down the pan as my other half has recently changed jobs so most weekends I look after the kids, while she is working. I do get time to go take photos mostly weekday evenings but don't tend to go too far from home.
Due to the two main reasons of buying my camera and now fairly redundant I am temotem to switch back to a crop sensor dSLR. I had a Nikon D7000 before which I am tempted to get again. I am not fussed over the latest tech just having something I enjoy to use. Which also I have found with the G80 it's nice but feels a bit small and fiddly in my hands to use sometimes. I find a larger body more comfortable to hold.
Anyone got any ideas? I think from reading back what I have put I have already made my mind up.
