There seems to be a number of good photographers on here and I was after some advice.
I'm getting a little more into taking photos but will never be anything more than a very amateurish amateur that occasionally gets a bit lucky (oh the honour of having photos "liked" on FB by pro photographer mates of mine - very rarely!).
Our trusty Lumix TZ5 (10x zoom compact) is getting on a bit now and things have moved on with GPS, wifi and more.
I simply could not justify a full on SLR, partly because I can't be bothered to lug a bag of kit around.
So I've narrowed it down to two decent compacts (one is a sort of in between compact...), the TZ60 (30x zoom, great reviews, very small) and the more expensive GX7 - the latter has separate lenses so zoom is obviously dependent on the lens. It has GPS and wifi and gets absolutely wall to wall top reviews. It also looks flipping lovely.
Now to get near the 30x zoom of the TZ60 I need a fairly serious lens as well as more versatile ones for the GX7 but it might be worth it.
I'm taking all sorts from landscapes to zoomed in surf photos - hence the need for a fair bit of zoom.
Any suggestions from anyone?!
