What is best mirrorless or compact ca
Anne A.
Hi Adam!
Do you have a brand preference?
What is best compact for travel journalism
Anne A.
just a minute
the Sony RX1 is a very good option
Expensive
Anne A.
it is but it's a very good camera!
what price range are you looking at?
Under 1000
Anne A.
ok
Possible...also like ths sony A 6000
Anne A.
that is a very nice model too!
And has a larger sensor
Anne A.
it does over the compact camera
Do you think that is important for possible magazine publication ?
Anne A.
larger sensors typically do give better image quality
I have alwags used nikon slr s for all my work. But they are too heavy for travel
Anne A.
did you see the new Nikon DL cameras?
No
Anne A.
let me get a link
Ok
Anne A.
they are still preorder
here they are -
What do you shoot with ?
Anne A.
Nikon d750 and d7200
They are nice but I like a viewfinder
Anne A.
the dl 24-500 does have a viewfinder on it
I will look at it
Anne A.
Just trying to jump start my creativity. Been shooting a long time. Want to go to lighter weight camera maybe I will carry it more
Anne A.
I understand that!
If I didn't have so much invested in Nikon, I'd go for the full frame Sony system.
I may try A 6000 then move up
Anne A.
that is a great camera!
$ 3200 is steep to start
Anne A.
it's very fast focusing
the only real downside to the Sony at this time, is the limited lens selection
but the new G master lenses do help with that
But for travel / street photography 1 lens would be ok
Love the Fuji X100T as well
Fixed focal length lens
Anne A.
that is a nice camera too. Much smaller than a dslr too
Beautiful camera. Retro !
Anne A.
yes!
I'm a retro mid century modern kind of guy
Anne A.
Did you consider the NIkon DF?
with that, you'd still get excellent image quality, and it is a smaller, retro styled camera
Most likely is the Sony
Nikon rules the slr wodld but they don't concentrate on smaller cameras
World
Anne A.
the DL series looks pretty good, but for mirrorless, In my optiion, Sony is a lot ahead
The Leicas are gorgeous but super expensive
Anne A.
yes they are!
