Flying over Sunday to Nuremberg via Amsterdam. Shooting an Al Di Meola (Jazz) concert in Nuremberg and then going to Valencia for a short stay. Since my D600 is still in for a new shutter I'll be trying out the Coolpix p520 as a travel camera. Will probably be using a Panasonic GH4 with 4K for the shoot.

These type of 'all in one' cameras were considered inferior to DSLRs once upon a time. But the quality bar has now been seriously lifted!

Eric I tried several during last year and traded them all back, this one is streets above all that I tried. It has simple controls and can be used just like a DSLR on M S A or P on any settings you need. ISO can be set or Auto and colour bal like -wise, but to date auto works fine on out doors. You can not fault the lens sharpness and I now think results are even better than I was getting with my D300 with 18-200 AFS my old well tried compact travel choice.Size is reduced but not by so much that you can not hold it or compose a picture. The eye level viewfinder is sharp and works well.

Just got a shot of a Nightingale singing! These elusive critters sing from deep in the bushes so you normally can't snap them. But this chap saw me, flew to a higher perch gave a couple of trills before flying off. But the Fuji grabbed him in mid trill. So it will be hard to part with this system as a travel kit ...especially after converting the XE body to IR, to share the lenses.

The Sony RX10 is also amazing good in poor avail;able light. This pix in the Beaulieu Motor Museum was in quite dull lighting so I used 1600 ISU. Lens at 8.8mm (as 35mm 24mm) fully wide hand held 1/125sec f6.3. Attachment: Beauulieu0073.jpg (Downloaded 55 times)

Another close-up from our garden this time. Depth of field is great with lens at 25mm (69mm in 35mm) 1/160 f5.6 ISO 400 hand held. Shots like this are easy! Attachment: Poppy0025s.jpg (Downloaded 55 times)

Very nice Graham. But you forget that the cameras are all pretty good the real variable is the operator. Not all of us are as skilled, talented or experienced as you are.

Thanks but I do think Nikon need to find a camera like this too or it will be short of money soon to develop a D400 or more important a D4X?

I think the new D4S lacks much new to tempt people from canon to Nikon or for a Nikon user to upgrade. I have been analysing the situation ever since the D800 has been in my hands. I dont need more MP than 24MP, the D800 with 36MP is fine if you are trying to not purchase a medium format upgrade such as the Pentax 645, Hasselblad H5, Leica S2, etc. But I dont personally need that. The D600/610 are perfect as they are 24MPbut still have good high ISO performance. In fact much the same as the D3S but with more MP if you need it for the cropping. That said my D3S is still very good and works well for me except on those occasions when I need to have a cropped section. My Fuji XT1 is what I want from a Nikon D400. It is small, high performance except the AF which is still less than the speed of a DSLR. If Nikon dont want to use a EVF then I appreciate that the camera needs to be bigger to fit in an optical viewfinder from a conventional DSLR. As far as MP goes I think once again 24MP is perfect.
