Anyone got a recommendation for a digital camera that I can take "happy snaps" of birds and wildlife without getting to complicated into it? I want a quality camera and am willing to shell out some $$ but am not planning on digiscoping or getting serious about it. Some sort of optical zoom pretty much a requirement unless the market has progressed to having a camera with a "normal" to 60 zoom or something (not interested in butterflies or super close focus but say a standard picture of something 6 ft away in the house as double duty standard camera). I have an older DMZ-F3C Lumix but thought I out to investigate upgrading before my trip to Yellowstone vs. sometime down the road. Thanks, hope not too off topic.
