Since I got the FZ1000 in 2015, I found it exceeded the performance of my 70D, and sold it. I still have occasional itches to get another DSLR or Mirrorless ILC; but so far have resisted the temptation. I did buy an refurbished Canon 80D and 18-135 IS USM lens and after finding the FZ1000 was still higher resolution and so much lighter, I sent it back.

I'm still waiting patiently for Canon to bring out the MK II versions of the G5X and G3X with the DIGIC 7 processor, and maybe some other changes. I'd like to see the G5X Mk II have a longer lens to compete with the Panasonic ZS100/TZ100; and the G3X Mk II to have a built in EVF.

Of course, I'm still waiting for Canon to bring out a Pro 2 to fix what was wrong with the Pro 1.

There’s no need to buy a DSLR or mirrorless - unless you know that you need specific features for specific tasks.

The problem with DSLRs and mirrorless is, that you have to commit to a system, the lenses and speedlights. It’s much easier to switch between brands with compact and bridge cameras.

For now I have the gear, that I need and no desire to upgrade.
