Nothing expensive just a canon bridge SX70 HS

Sounds similar to ours, a canon bridge SX510

We have three cameras.  I am not bragging, but we are keen, self-taught, amateur photographers 

(1)  Canon EOS 700D DSLR,  18-megapixel with a Canon EF-S 18-55mm F3.5 - F5.6 IS STM zoom lens.

(2)  Canon SX620 HS 21.1-megapixel compact with 4.5-112.5mm F3.2 - F9 lens.

(3)  Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000, 20-megapixel, f2.8-4 Leica lens giving 25-400mm zoom.

Separate lenses:

(1)  Sigma 150-600mm f/1.5-6.3 telephoto lens which attaches to the Canon EOS 700D.

(2) Tokina AT-X M100 Pro D AF 100mm f/2.8 Macro Lens which attaches to the Canon EOS 700D for really close-up shots.

The Canon EOS with the Sigma lens we mainly use for photographing wildlife at a distance away. I posted some photos a while ago of some Avocets and a chick which I took at Keyhaven Marshes.  A tripod is essential when using this setup to minimise camera-shake.  We only take this gear out with us when we know we will be spending a few hours at a particular location, and hopefully near to where we park the car.  The gear is too heavy to walk too far.

The Panasonic gives excellent quality results.  The photos Sophia and I took of each other (posted on our Flickr site) were taken with it.

I also have an excellent quality camera on my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra mobile phone.  I always have this with me, so if we come across anything we want to photograph then we are ready 

All of the above camera equipment is quite old now, but they still give excellent results.  So we won't be updating anything just yet 

That is what we like about the Panasonic.  It is a bridge camera with a fixed lens, so you can do everything one-handed.

I used the Canon SX620, before I got the latest mobile phone, as it is so light and portable.  I still take that one out with me, especially if I intend to take a lot of photos.  It saves clogging up my phone memory 

Lovely pictures. I particularly like the squirrel.
