[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 633698, member: 25183"] UPDATE: After a month or two using this Lumix FZ82 I can safely say I'm not regretting buying it and I'm not missing my Nikon gear back home too much. For starters I wouldn't have anywhere to put it in our mini van camper without throwing out half of my clothes (that option would have been considered). The IQ of the bridge camera, after tweeking a few JPEG settings surpasses what I expected by some way. So long as there is good light and the subject isn't moving too much it can produce great results. This shot on my Flickr page is about the best I've been able to produce with it and it really does rival the best I've got from my DSLR [URL]https://www.flickr.com/photos/eleaphotography/35513473874/in/datetaken-public/[/URL] This is a JPEG straight out of camera, with no additional adjustments so far as I recall. If I did anything it was to bring the highlights down a touch but no sharpening or cropping. Don't get me wrong, whenever the sun goes in I feel really hampered as IQ drops off much quicker as the ISO goes up and the AF speed is so much slower making things like BIF shots very very tough to get. When I get back to the UK my Nikon will still be my main camera, especially if I'm wanting to make high quality prints but I'm sold on having this camera as a go anywhere tool, at least until something better comes along.
