Using translation - no need ;-) = unless you mean from UK English to US English :-)

Thanks for the links :-) - will read your comparisons thoroughly.

Thanks again for your thoughts. I now that with the current Covid going on, no new cameras might be released this year but still keep hoping :-). I know that the Sony menu structure is different ...

Thanks for those with added advice/ suggestions. I still have not quite made up my mind - with Covid still going strong I might even postpone a new camera purchase till next year. Though I am ...

They are beautiful! Well Done!

yep, Dave that is absolutely right I have logged various camera's (analogue & digital) around in my bike bags and none of them came out worse for wear. My phone is a Samsung S10+, so it is ...

I indeed only intend to take 1 and use the phone camera as back just in case... and since updates are apparently not really soon expected I might just as well take the plunge in spring 2021 and ...

Like you I am also starting to doubt if that will happen in the near future. Though would be brilliant if both Panny and Sony introduce an upgrade at the same time.

For me bean bags are not an option - too heavy. And since i will be be cycling on my own it at times is nice to be able to take cycling shots of oneself + comes in handy at night time shots at ...

I had a look at this one but is way heavier than the Gorilla.

In the mean time I am prteey convinced that it will become the Sony :). And have done some research into tripods and am think the Gorilla 325 magnetic. What are your views on this tripod? I Like ...

That indeed might be the case - however I do a long bike tour every year during my summer holidays so the camera will be used then as well and saving me some weight to pedal up hills. On top of ...

I read on the Sony forum about this case: MegaGear case and will very likely get it for the Sony.

That will very likely happen on top of sending cards home - it is reasonably often not possible to upload data to having no, proper, internet connection.

I know that they do not cost a great deal but taking enough for the whole journey is a bit of an impossibility since I very likely will be on the road between 1 and 5 years. And if I am still ...

I intend to bring several sd cards, so I can send full ones home for my brother to save images on a HD, and then send them back. i also want to upload to the cloud so that I have a backup + will ...

I plan on taking 1 camera only, ie not counting the camera on my phone. If push comes to shove I should be able to order a camera online or buy one when I get to a bigger place. Taking 2 camera's ...

Since I  am not in a rush I will wait and see what comes out in the near future. If no mk 8 releases have been announced by Feb/ March coming year I will get the mk 7 - which will give me ample ...

Brilliant, thanks a gazillion for the link!

If so, I will have to live with it ;), though usb-C does not really take up more space and since it is going to be the new standard....
