Would you mind keeping to a single ID? It becomes tiresome to killfile

So, given all of that, could some kind soul perhaps direct this totally-

Go with any of the excellent super-zoom P&S cameras (and ditch your old
lenses that won't even have full functionality on any of the newer
cameras).

Most old lenses will be fully functional on most newer cameras. Famous
exceptions are e.g. non-AF-S lenses on entry-level Nikons or FD lenses
on Canon EOS bodies.

You can do all that you want with any of the super-zoom P&S
models.

Yeah right, keep on dreaming.
