Thanks Mate,

I mainly use my phone, a Google Pixel XL and a Lumix TZ80 - it has 30 x zoom and fits in my pocket - they say the best camera is the one you have on you.

You can get the Pixel for around $700 now, new one is about to come out.
The camera on the "old" one really is outstanding, if it had the zoom I would probably just use this.

The Lumix is around $500, it has some issues with low light shots but otherwise has been great to use and is my first dedicated camera - I am new to & just getting into Photography. Really only since I bought the car.

I am learning alot about still photography and really enjoying it, this is probably the reason I have not gotten more into video yet.



I have 2 cameras that are mostly for video that I have hardly used so far, I'm thinking next trip I will play with them a bit more, 5 nights camping in one spot coming up. Hopefully I finally get to see some Platypus's!

An action camera style from Nikon that was about $400

I have experimented with putting this on the outside of the car for some short drives - fell off once! It's tough as, waterproof and capable of some tricky long exposure time shift stuff that I am still learning about. Think of those cool shots of stars moving.

and secondly a Gyroscopic stabilised camera that I was really amped for when buying, but have hardly turned it on, the DJI OSMO 4K Plus over $1,500 with all the extra add on bits I got.

It's a lot bigger, heavier and more complex than I thought it would be but is capable of cinema level filming.


I have a lot to learn and experiment with, going forward I will probably need a more powerful computer to edit 4K video, other than that I think I am fairly set for gear for the foreseeable future and broke...
