I use sigma DP1 when I have to travel very light as it has SLR picture quality but as all sigmas the camera has it's problems. A lot of my friends use NEX and they love it.

Hi ILUVSWTAS,
Nice camera, and yes you are getting some outstanding results with it, I am unable to find it on the Panasonic site, I suspect it could be called the DMC-TZ10 now.

Many thanks for your considered reply.
I am aware that if I want quality photos that a DSLR is the only way to go, but DSLR's are heavy and bulky and I am looking at lightweight camera system, more in the point and shoot style, (though with the quality of the photos in the photo comp lately I might have to get a DSLR).
At my work we have 4 old Nikon D100's and 4 Nikon D300's, and many old (sadly now not used) Nikon F2's, F3's, the D300 is a brilliant camera and I would not hesitate to buy one or something similar if I thought it was suitable for the type of bushwalking that I do.
I am a bushwalker that likes to do a bit of photography, not a photographer that likes to go bushwalking. I want a camera that I can hang on my pack or belt like I do with my current very cheap P&S.

Hi Pawel,
I have checked the Nex's out, nice camera but the lenses are quite big, I would be worried about damaging them, the Sony lenses are also very expensive, the Pentax lenses are relatively cheap.
