What camera should I buy?

I’m looking at a used FZ-80 as a nice small birding cam. I have a Sony Alpha with a 300 zoom but it’s hard to beat the reach for the buck of those FZs.

As I look closer at these FZ80s though, I’ve been coming across a few stories of focus problems (intermittent, very noisy), and quite a few stories of having the lenses replaced by Panasonic (under warranty, of course).

And I don’t get why the UK used prices for so many cameras are so much lower than used in North American.
