[QUOTE="dr_eyehead, post: 310666, member: 25249"] You're all probably right. I can afford to splash out £200 so rather than getting a bottom of the range one of each might be better getting a good one of one and saving for the other. I want both zoom and a nice wide angle lens with a nice depth of field for panoramic landscapes. I've done a lot of panoramics using a cheap 10MP coolpix, and some of them turned out not bad for the technology. Just waiting on the weather to pick up so I can get out somewhere afar with my tent and spare battery and see what I can capture. With a current back catalogue of nearly 50,000 shots over the past few years I'm struggling to find anything new to point a camera at around here. There are lots of good vantage points within easy reach, but none of them I would say offer particularly photogenic views. Maybe some of city zoomed in from various points be would worth taking with a good zoom lens though. There's also the Pentlands. Was up there the other night perched on the edge of a hill waiting for it to get completely dark so I could try a starlapse, but I got cold and tired and hungry and ended up coming back early, but got a taste for how powerful a sensor this thing has. The bit where I was going to take the shot though would have benefited from a wider angle lens I think. No reason why I can't take 4 or more shots and stitch them together though.
