Re: Keep DSLR or go back to superzoom/bridge camera?

I really wanted great zoom capability and the best way to get that seemed to be the Nikon P900, which I have and really like a lot.  It's fantastic for long zoom but you do have to learn the best way to get good results with that camera.  I'm still working on it!

Meanwhile, I have been searching for a DSLR because I want to work with ultra wide angle lenses and cannot really get below 18mm (27mm full frame) in a bridge camera.  I tested out the Sony RX10iv and it was fantastic in its own way, but no way to do wider angle.  So back to DSLRs or perhaps mirrorless.  I read somewhere that you should decide which basic lenses you would like and then look at the cameras to go with them!  Right now I'm going back and forth between the Canon 77D or maybe 80D, the Nikon D7500, possibly the Fujifilm X-T70, and possibly the Canon M50.  I'm having a hard time deciding because I'm still refining the various features I would like....I've decided I like a flip out touchscreen, I like what I read about Canon DPAF, and on and on it goes.  It takes awhile to figure it out if you only have limited funds and want to make a decision you can live with for awhile.  For me it's a matter of figuring out which camera has the most of what I want.
