I currently use a Z1 and a cheapy consumer camera and have decided I'm going to invest £1000 on a better second camera. I've got no idea what would be best for the money, and what would work best with a Z1. Does anyone have any ideas? I guess I just want to get whatever is best in that price range.

Opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! James

There are a few suggestions and some good info in this thread that meet that budget and potentially your needs. Take a look. Otherwise, maybe get a good condition 2-3 year old secondhand cam?

Thanks Andy, will have a look through that thread
