I’d really like this cam…

The Olympus EP3. I also really like the E-PL1 which is much cheaper and to me, more comfortable to hold. The EP3 has much faster auto focus though, and more external controls and dials though I have found the E-PL1 easy to use as well.

Am now deciding on whether to get a bridge superzoom like the Panasonic FZ150with a 26x zoom lens or a mirrorless micro four thirds camera with a second hand/used 70-300mm lens (with adapter) for an upcoming wildlife trip/river safari.

I’d really love the convenience of an all in one package without the need to carry a bagful of expensive gear. Image quality and performance not as good but I’m willing to compromise, I’m not a professional photographer and don’t pretend to be one.

Have also been looking at the Fujifilm HS20EXR (30x optical zoom). Seems the best value if I do decide to get a superzoom for my wildlife/safari trip. Anyone own this cam? It’s big and heavy though, as big as an entry level SLR. Weighs about 700 grams with batteries. Hmm, decisions, decisions!
