Eric wrote: Hello stranger.......what happened to the D800 Hello Eric:-D Oh, don't worry, I still have my Precious - the D810 - which I'm using for earning money type work and general piccy taking here but I can't be bothered carting that much weight around the world on holiday with me. For that I have my trusty cheapo Fuji bridge camera which takes more than adequate piccies for my holiday snaps and that 1000mm reach is sooo good. I'd need a trolley (and a mortgage) to carry the real lens equivalent lol. So, I was thinking about getting a D3300 as the Fuji is a bit clapped out now from overuse but I think the P900 is going to win. I also don't want to be carrying 1000s of pounds worth of stuff on holiday, worrying if I'm going to get mugged - and having to pay extra insurance. The £130 Fuji wasn't a worry at all and as I said, for my holiday snaps, it has been great. I'm not going to do anything with them other than make up some albums so the quality doesn't have to be amazing. I'm with you on the GPS thing as well - Mallorca2012...Venice2010... I usually know exactly where everything was taken just by looking at it and failing that, there's the folder name.

The spotlight is ready positioned over the interrogation chair...need to get answers to a number of questions.  Without wishing to preempt the conclusions of this discussion, I will concede that for certain situations an exact reference might be useful. My wife took thousands of wild flower pictures in Italy a few years back. She is frequently asking me which road we were on. I am blessed by a very good memory of roads and urban streets. Provided I have driven the road I can go back years later and find a specific place ....assuming it's still standing or a motorway hasn't been swept through the location.  But gps or retro map positioning would save me having to perform....the wife could find it from the database herself.Love the pelicans....didn't see many in Huddersfield last week. May be stating obvious...but the flock piccie could do with dropping the exposure by a stop to get more punch.

I'm thinking you are trying to justify buying a new toy, hence inviting Mr P for tea and biccies. Yep, the pellies paid Huddersfield a brief visit a couple of years ago, squawked their disapproval of the climate, and winged it back to Peru! (Peru2016) Hmm...the flock pic looked not bad on my screen. It's a work in progress...

But then its a mac so its just 5K of wonderfulness. Off topic and starting another argument no doubt..... Back on topic. I tried the LUMIX super zoom bridge cameras but found them not to be very sharp and often over exposing, but the exposure was unreliable so you couldn't just set -1 or whatever on the compensation because then you;d get a whole load too dark. When you need the jpeg to be a good as possible without processing it is very frustrating. I think that is why I went for the Nikon even though it was almost twice the price.
