I am reposting this as it seems to have got a bit lost. I am at present using aSony F707 and getting some good pics but a one off chance to improve on it looks to be coming my way so am starting to look at whats out there which is what I did when I got the Sony. Sorry if the first post was a bit vague , it was meant to be open to allow for a wide discussion. Back to the Point I am looking for as high a quality image and some speed of recaction when trying for moving images as is reasonably available, I run a plant nursery for a living which means I work out side and keep a camera with me pretty well all the time to grab anything that takes my fancy which could be as today the froglet now emerging from the lake. a new dragon fly for the site, a plant in flower for a lable or even a fine sunset. Dont get me wrong I have loved my Sony have some great picture from it ,but a one off chance to may be improve on it looks like it will come my way, so thought to start seeing whats out there? Again TIA Robert ps. I am in UK But will welcome advice from where ever it comes.
