An island somewhere..no one out

yeah glassy im workin away atm, I been going through the pics to suss out final decisions (still )

Ive definatly narrowed it down to one of the better Nikkons, I think from what my info ive gathere the cannons might be better if I spend 5-6 grand but that's well out of my budget and leaves me with no cash for a lens. You will definatley get more bang for ya buck with nikkon, and Ive just learnt how to use it sort off.
The lens issue is extremely complex and although I want a nikkon camera Im going to go into the shop and have a visual look at what the options are. The camera I will buy from a shop for sure just cause Im a bit paranoid about quality issues buying on line. The lens I haven't decided yet.

I need to sort it out Im going to the Maldives in May and Id like to have it before than, still looking at spending2-3 grand total, but its very tempting to wait just before going cause I may have another5-800 to put towards it. I realized theres a huge difference between a 1500 dollar camera and 1500 dollar lens to maybe a 2000 camera and a 1500 dollar lens.

More research will be done for me, its a huge cost and I may be dilly dallying but I want to make sure I get exactly what I need/want.

Cheers for all the info too glassy when I was asking heaps a questions its definatly steered me closer to what I think I will get

These are great bang for buck...I have the older model, FZ150 that I'm still using...long battery life, quality pics/vids, great autofocus even while zooming.

Cheers guys...Ted were you at Serangan Sanur Or Nusa Dua, meant to ask ya before

here's one a buddy of mine sent me last week, from his vault (probably taken around 2013 he reckons - funny thing is, he hasn't been for a paddle since about 05)
pretty much a mind surfing only shot!

Bigger Looks very solid to me. Maybe 8-10ft. Those blokes are a long way from the action and still look small Put it this way I would be staying on the beach.

Super strong east wind + macking swell + jakes = carnage!
