As long as there's a photography thread... I'm going to Africa next year. I have been before, and taken a DMC-ZS60. It's OK but not great. By far the best feature is that it packs a tremendous zoom lens into a very small and light package, which is really a must for wildlife photography. I would like to step up my photography game for my next trip without having to add too much bulk and weight. Once upon a time I had a DMC-GX1 with a 300mm lens and that worked well, but I found that even that was too big for me to comfortably lug around and so I got rid of it because I never used it. That camera is also getting pretty old. Has the technology improved at all? Is there a better alternative out there for a good zoom (300mm or better) without the bulk of a regular DSLR? [UPDATE] In case anyone is interested, here are a few shots from the ZS60: https://flownet.com/ron/trips/Seabourn2019/Pages/422.html https://flownet.com/ron/trips/Seabourn2019/Pages/422.html https://flownet.com/ron/trips/Seabourn2019/Pages/496.html https://flownet.com/ron/trips/Seabourn2019/Pages/496.html https://flownet.com/ron/trips/Africa2022/Pages/303.html https://flownet.com/ron/trips/Africa2022/Pages/303.html https://flownet.com/ron/trips/west_africa_2015/Pages/707.html https://flownet.com/ron/trips/west_africa_2015/Pages/707.htm... https://flownet.com/ron/trips/west_africa_2015/Pages/950.html https://flownet.com/ron/trips/west_africa_2015/Pages/950.htm... And one from the GX1 for comparison. (Another advantage to that camera is a fast shutter!) https://flownet.com/ron/trips/NWP2015/Pages/162.html https://flownet.com/ron/trips/NWP2015/Pages/162.html
