Great set of questions--a helpful decision tree for the OP! The OP's concern about flash provoked some thought when I realized that I rarely use flash but still like having an external flash handy ...

Also holding pat with my Olympus gear, which will probably outlast me! I understand the disappointment with this news and those with Olympus equipment wondering how this will affect them. Life's ...

I have owned both and while they have the family (Olympus Pen) resemblance, they are really different cameras. I had the E-P5 for years before purchasing the Pen-F and don't really have to think ...

Nice close-up! I am a huge fan of the RX100 series cameras and am now on my 3rd (RX100M5). From your gear, I see that you enjoy other Sony equipment and even have two older Sony e-mount cameras ...

Reading through this topic, I see that you have enjoyed diving far longer than many of your fellow seniors. I have wonderful memories of diving and used to joke that I missed the 70s since I was ...

Wow! It never occurred to me that I might end up with a bad sample of the 75mm f/1.8. My sample is excellent and still indistinguishable from a new lens (Ok, to be expected with minimal use). ...

Very interesting topic! I am very happy with the performance of my 75mm f/1.8 when I use it. Like many others, I purchased this lens based on its reputation but it has seen little use based on its ...

I have owned 5 MFT cameras with an assortment of prime and zoom lenses. No doubt about it, lenses can make the difference between being happy or disappointed in your images. I have seen a ...

I 2nd the 45mm f/1.8 suggestion! Jim

Loved the "Hoarding brain" description! I'm not the voice of reason here and would side with keeping the primes. :-) So far, advice to the contrary sounds quite logical but logic can be ...

I never liked the PlayMemories app. This app and the largely unexploited touch screen capabilities that Sony slept on for so long were two sore points for me. Yes, the a5100 had touch to focus ...

My point was that as much as I like my two a5100 cameras, I would not recommend purchasing this 2014 camera in 2020. My mention of the a6400 was not a recommendation to the OP, just an indication ...

After deciding to downsize my Sony APS-C equipment, I kept 2 a5100 cameras, a few prime lenses and a 16-50mm kit lens. These cameras have been relegated to a single function in that they are used ...

The FZ1000 is a good fit for your intended use and budget. Since you mentioned an upgrade from phone photography (assuming you carry your phone with you and it's handy when you need it), I am ...

Thanks for sharing your comparison photos and for such an interesting topic! I prefer using primes (from my film days) and it was a stretch for me to buy the 16-70 lens. I later read some of the ...

Decent enough is a good description of the 55-210mm lens. I saw some YouTube video shot with this lens on an a6000 of a portion of a Laker game and was astounded at the quality. This was all the ...

Heart & head partnership...the heart wants what it wants; sometimes when it isn't the best logical decision. In the end, you want a camera that really calls to you, a camera that is hard to ...

I read this section and smiled at the news of a happy ending...you had completed your quest for a camera & lens combination that would work well for you! I continued reading and it seems that you ...
