The Panasonic Lumix FZ80 is a decent choice for casual nature photography. If you want to stick with what you know, a Panasonic Lumix G95/G97 or G100 would be the next step. Pair it with a Lumix 100-300 mm or 100-400 mm zoom. Personally, I have a G95. It's a little larger for handling the bigger zoo

One aspect of the G9ii or G97 that you might enjoy is that the smaller glass makes it easier to take the camera everywhere. I highly recommend picking up the Panasonic 12-32mm lens. I’ve owned crazy expensive glass, but that performance to size to price of that lens really delights me.

I was literally in this same boat about a month ago but with the Panasonic G97 and GH7. In the end I went with the G97 and bought a 20mm anamorphic AF 20mm lens, got a 85mm 2.1 lens and last week got a 50mm 1.05.

Well, I'm not talking about compact cameras, they're just prone to failure regardless of the brand because of the motorised lens mechanism. But when it comes to interchangeable lens cameras, I still have my very first DSLR, it was a Canon EOS 300D, still works perfectly 22 years later. It looks and

Panasonic Lumix G97 fits all of your list except the pocket-size form factor. It runs around $850 with a 12-60mm kit lens that's pretty good. Leaves you some money for a nicer and/or smaller lens.

I just answered another post so I’ll give you the same recommendation. The Panasonic g97 is running about 600 usd on B&H with the 12-60 kit lens. Both the camera body and lens are weather sealed. The lens is generally well regarded. At 24-120mm ff equivalent it runs from a wide angle to a short tele

I have several friends who are wildlife photographers. TBH, getting really good wildlife photos typically requires high quality long lenses ($$$ + weight) and a good camera body ($$$ + weight). This isn't what you want so I would recommend getting a reasonably priced micro four thirds camera body an

B&H has the Panasonic G97 at 600 right now with a 12-60mm kit lens. That's a ff equivalent focal range of 24-120. The lens isn't the fastest but it is widely regarded as a good lens from what I'm reading. The camera and lens are both weather sealed. It's a good camera for photos and, as I understand

Panasonic Lumix g90 / 91 / 95 the latest is G97 , some extra features added . A very capable body , tested the battery and it has sufficient power for photography ( not video ) , lightweight enough , not on the bulky side , nothing missing from the bells and whistles story , you can't go wrong with
