Fascinating and awe inspiring.  However dude, be careful.  Those fellers can go fast.  But, clearly you know what you are doing.  I trust you have good life insurance😵

These are all spectacular.  I really can't say which is my favorite.  How many walls do you have free?? You might have to move in order to frame these in prominent places.  Well done.

What a great experience.  Beautiful images.  It has been a dream of mine to visit Alaska.  Maybe someday.  Your back is better than mine.  Can you imagine carrying a FF with the heavy lenses on ...

Thanks, must visit Australia.  It looks beautiful.

Out of curiosity, where were these taken?  It looks a bit like central America.   Thanks

I have the FZ200.  I rarely use it now.  But, think I'll pick it up and take it for a spin.  Thanks for reminding me how nice it can be.

Greetings, Out of curiosity, did your camera come with Japanese display.  If so, was it difficult to change it to English?  Also, did you have to pay import fees?  The reason I'm asking is, I was ...

Out of curiosity, what is it about your current camera that holds you back?  Yes, indeed an old camera.  But, if it's something you are comfortable using, what's the issue?

Yes, but I also have M4/3 for that.  I'm sure that the FZ300/330 is a better camera.  But, I have had the FZ200 since it first came out.  I'm kind of use to it, with all of it's short comings.

Very idyllic.  I have an FZ200, the predecessor of the FZ300/330.  I haven't used it in a while.  I'll take it out and dust it off a take if for a spin, thanks to your inspiration.

I really like both photos.  Very nice images. Thanks for sharing.

That would certainly be my choice.  Small bodies+small lenses=lighter gear and less back pain.

But, for me, the body and lenses are larger and maybe heavier.  When travelling, I'd want smaller bodies and lenses.  I'd go with a couple of small m3/4 bodies, even older models.  If you can find ...

I really like this set, especially number 1 and 2.  Very nice.  Thanks for sharing.

Funny.  That's what I thought.  When it's raining, I don't go out to take photos.  And if caught in the rain, put it under my coat or backpack.  If I were a kayaker I'd get a submergable camera.

Good question.

Agreed.  A good combo.  And with Black Friday on the horizon, that price might drop.  OP can maybe borrow a camera until then.

The OP said that having a camera that you can change lenses is a requirement for the class.

Yes, I know that some museams don't allow flash.  That's why I think a fast prime is a good idea.  But, the silent mode is a good idea!! My GX80 is so quiet, I'm not sure I took the picture.

I forgot the OP has a backup camera for rain and kayacking.  That should do the trick.
