Bridge Camera's

Up until recently I owned a Sony A77ii and my life in the photography world has been only Sony.

I started with the Sony A390 and it to me was a great camera but I felt I grew out of it.

The next move was to the Sony A77 and this one I used it until it said I could not use it any longer.

I have been told that a board can be replaced in it to make it work again, but I'm not worried about it.

My next and final move was to the Sony A77ii the best camera I have owned.

The reason to sty with Sony was my lens I had and to move away was going to cost way too much.

Not that long ago I went out to take a few photo's and I slipped and I had the Tamron 150/600mm on the camera.

This took the lot of pressure of the fall and I took a shot to see if the crack was going to affect the shot.

But sadly the fall rendered the lens no good.

We claimed it on our insurance and within 9 days the money was in our bank.

My wife said I should try the Nikon P900 as friends had them and like them a lot.

I had a look and I decided to get that camera as I would not need the large lens with this.

Over time the new camera because it was so easy to carry around was the go to camera.

I took my Granddaughter out and I used the the Sony and she got the Nikon due to the sensor factor.

We got home and I looked at the shot she had taken and they were quite good and I only gave her a quick run down on it.

It made me think about the P900 more and more and I thin knew about the even bugger zoom of the P1000.

I took a few shots of the Sony with all I had with it and posted it on a place called Market Place that is attached to your facebook page.

I had one little tickle but nothing that lead anywhere. So I took it off and had a rethink for a could of weeks.

Then I thought of eBay and I had the photos and I placed it on there.

Within a day I got one stupid offer of $1000 Australian. My reply was the camera lone is worth more.

A day or so later I got a notice that it was bought and for the full price of $1750 plus postage.

I knew it was going to cost more that that was shown so this is why I had the extra $50.00 to it.

The very next day we went to the post office and posted it off to the new owner.

Now I was a dSLR camera down and I have been researching the P1000 and seeing how well is shapes up to other cameras.

To me it again is the small sensor, but if you are not selling then this is be no worries.

Some of the shots I have taken with the P900 are as good to me as the Sony, but maybe in printing it might be different.

So now after the research I need to spend more money to closer to the Sony.

There are a few things where I will lose out and I am will for that to happen.

But now I need the money to clear and I will have the Nikon P1000 and my wife has said she might have a go at this.

So to me this is a win. Though I do doubt that she will get rightinto this hobby as I am, but to start I think its good
