At the moment, I don't want to spend all that much (figure US $200-ish) if I do it. My main choice seems to be:

  • Buy Olympus SP-100EE
  • Buy Nikon B500
  • Rent Nikon P900
  • Rent Panasonic 100-400mm lens
  • Go beyond budget and buy Nikon B700 or P900 (or Canon superzooms)

I never tried the SP-100EE, so I don't know much about it except for the specifications

Someone has bought my 10 kg accordion For US$ 700.-, It Is now too heavy to play after my hip replacement.

This puts me in the market for the Nikon B700. My reasons are: EVF, 2x+ more reach, articulated LCD for use on my tripod, good feedback on build quality, not as big as the P900. More MP than my travel zooms will be useful, providing this does not make night videos worse than what I get now.

I had totally forgotten about the SP-100ee.
