Thanks, but it seems my other two lenses aren't worth that much, so I don't think I can afford this 16-45 lens. I may join the Pentax forum though. (y)

Yes that is quite a good price, will have to look into this a bit further. I will be loosing quite a lot of zoom (Selling both the 18-55 and 55-300) though, so will have to consider carefully. I do like the wider angle though. Actually you just reminded me of my absolute favourite ever lens...

Thanks for the info Dave. I always do manual exposure, but do prefer auto focussing the majority of the time, so these older lenses probably wouldn't be very suitable for me. Also I often find they are very heavy and do prefer the more modern 'lighter' lenses, even though they are usually more...

Actually, looking at all of those lenses, they are either too expensive for my budget, or not available in the UK, so think I will just have to make do for now.:( Thanks for all the help though.

Thanks welshwizard646, I will look into some of those lenses. :)

I recently got given an old Pentax K7, after not being able to afford to buy a camera for quite some time, so obviously I was really happy to be given this, even though it is very old and has it's limitations (Poor high ISO quality, not too great autofocus etc.) and have enjoyed playing about...

Hi, Ok so had the FZ1000 for just over a week now and I can say, I am a little bit disappointed with the image quality, as compared to my Nikon, but it's still pretty good as long as you don't zoom in too much and I've found that if you do, the images take on a kind of artificial/painting type...

I've just bought the F1000 with a load of filters, a Manfrotto Tripod, a Neewer filter set and a 64 GB SD card for £370. So pretty happy!!! :giggle: Also got 300 Nectar points as a bonus! :LOL:

Ok, so now I'm thinking 'maybe' I'll get the FZ1000 instead (I can 'actually' afford this now after working out finances), only because of the bigger sensor. I do like the F2.8 throughout on the FZ330 and weather proofing though...... :confused: AAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH. I'm going to go mad if I...

Hope you enjoy it!! ;)

Yes it looks like a very good camera, but totally out of my price range unfortunately and I don't own a credit card either.

Big change of plan! My Nikon D7200 sold last night, (We decided to sell the body on it's own and the lenses nearer the time we will be needing the extra money to pay for our car), but unfortunately, it didn't make enough money to get the FZ1000 ii or 2000, or even the 1000 really as it only...

Yes I suppose they are just comparing it to a higher end camera/SLR. No I haven't, think I will just have to buy one and try it for myself!

Just looking at reviews and comparisons on here and both score very poorly for image quality. :confused: https://cameradecision.com/compare/Panasonic-Lumix-DMC-FZ2500-vs-Panasonic-Lumix-DC-FZ1000-II

I have been reading some reviews and one of the cons of this camera is purple fringing on images. Do you know if your wife has a problem with this??
