Thank you all for the interesting comments and information. In the past I was a great fan of the SLR and I had several starting with a Russian camera, 'Zenit', which I still have and finishing up with a Nikon with 28mm and 135mm lenses which unfortunately were stolen. My Arthritic problems were just starting so I moved to an Olympus compact camera with built in zoom and have staggered from then into the digital era. In my earlier years I had a dark room which eventually I had to give up and now I see my computer taking over the functions of a dark room.
So you see, I am not a newcomer to photography and I am well aware of the problems with dust etc especially with SLR cameras. As I said in my original posting I need ease of handling and RAW. Changing lenses is not so easy when one hand is holding a walking cane even standing for any length of time is a problem. Carrying equipment is not comfortable and I do like to wander on my own when out for a shoot.
