Being retired from the news/photography, without my camera is like without my pants or other important item!! The box on the back gives me the ability to carry it, cold water, couple tools etc. I have found one camera which I purchased giving me all in one little unit. I won't advertise that here not knowing if that is a good idea but Pro Gear is really not needed. For the price and abilities of this camera are outstanding that's why I feel lost without it. I realize people have their own choices but when it comes time of camera expense & size..well. Attached is just one quick shot I was able to snap even though it was approximately 900mm away from me. That is with optical zoom by the way and very sharp. Further I carry a small camera attached to my belt for faster access than having to get to the box. 16.1 and 14 mp are enough ability I need.
