Thread: Time to update

Looking at a new camera which is long overdue. I'm rather out of touch with the current tech. Other than my phone camera (which isn't too bad for what it is) my old camera is an Olympus OM10 film camera I bought in '77. The old camera has been damned good and was quite advanced in it's day but that day is looong gone.

My dilemma is which direction to go. A must is a hotshoe for a decent flash. Other than that I'm tossing up between a DSLR and an ultra-zoom bridge camera. With a DSLR I could use a couple of my old camera lenses either directly or with an adapter. I do have a really nice Soligor zoom with a big objective that would be worth the effort. The advantage of the bridge camera is it's compact size and lower weight with everything there.

What are everyone's thoughts?
