Sometimes itโs lazy to carry a DSLR with lenses and you want a small camera that shoots with dignity. I watched Panasonic LX5, but it has a smaller zoom, so I took Nikon. Learning. With its pros: Zoom, quick access to various settings, easy to hold, automation works well, a lot of software settings, RAW, there is any viewfinder, Fn buttons are convenient to customize. With its cons: Some may not find it very compact. I took it in addition to a DSLR, so this did not bother me.
