I have a Nikon P7800 and love it. The saltwater is starting to take its toll now, after 5 or 6 years of sterling service (might be longer the way time flies!) It is still working but the buttons are getting a bit dodgy at times. If I could find another one at reasonable money I would buy it in a heartbeat.... they are incredibly expensive second hand now. I do still have the predecessor, the 7700 sat upstairs in its box. Maybe that would suffice, but the sensor in the 7800 was an improvement. What is there out there that would be a suitable replacement - PLEASE NOTE a bridge camera is NOT suitable, don't bother arguing, it just isn't, it is far too bulky.
7800 is slow, but that doesn't matter, it produces large RAW files.
f2.0 lens 24mm-200m
does a bit of video.
folding and turn round screen for front viewing (setting up shots where you are in it, not just a selfie, but 'doing stuff')
Good battery life.
Infra red remote
I haven't been able to find anything that is comparable, they are all jpeg only jobbies. I bet there are some amongst the collective who are better at searching than I am.... Google never seems to answer my questions properly. Other people searching on my behalf obviously ask differently, because they get completely different answers.
Ideas please - and not £500 or up either!
