Thanks for your input. I still haven't made up my mind. I'm pricing various combinations of cameras and lenses from various sellers to see what I can get and feel comfortable with. Today I was looking at prime lenses and speed and thinking about bokeh. I need to go to a shop where I can put my hands on them and look through them. I'm not really in a hurry to buy, and the longer I wait the more I can save...and spend. My P500 is out of the shop now so I have a toy I can play with in the meantime which has a ridiculous 36x zoom.
