Some may have seen but lost my camera - Canon D60 - with 70/300zoom!
Puts me in a dilema - had been saving for a 400 5.6 or a 600 tamron zoom.
Can't afford both now!
I have a Lumix fz28 18x - noticed how limited it was yesterday - even the DSLR 300mm cropped gives better but at the same time was feeling a lack of reach hence saving for a new lens. I bought the Lumix bridge 72 before the D60 but was dissappointed with the speed - missing birds in flight.
So I have two options - really cheap DSLR and same lens as before ie 70/300mm cheapy or back to bridge - canon sx60 is 310€ at the moment here.
What I loved about the DSLR was the speed of snapping (could really snap off 3/4 shots before the bridge would find the subject - I got two good pics yesterday of Firecrest and two misses - the D60 would have blasted 15 pictures for a couple of good shots (same result as it happens) but if the bird had not stayed would have probably had none with Lumix) what I loved about the bridge was the reach. I'm never going to be a professional photographer (i don't have the patience) and I never really spent a lot of time playing with my photos after the event. I know that I would have missed some record shots with the bridge this year and that was frustrating.
Which way to go? I still have a canon fit sigma old school lens - have to use on AP - but never really happy with sharpness (it was the reason I went Canon last time round). So I can go DSLR Canon Nikon or any bridge or other suggestion. I went 750€ last time and can't afford that this time (the week before lost camera I paid for our hols and some new skis so the budget went).
