Looking for a good compact camera - Reinier - 02-13-2015 Hello All, Most of you probably have a smart phone with a camera, so where ever you go you have a camera with you. But as I hate mobile phones(I don't want to be disturbed if I am not at home) I don't have one. But thing is I always bring my camera, but as it's my Canon 5D with a 28-105mm and a 70-200mm 4.0, it's quite heavy and cumbersome to take along when going to the hospital or to the shops. So, I want a smaller camera which I can bring with me when I don't go on a photography trip. I have a budget in the range of 400-500 euro. And I prefer a camera with a 28-105mm lens(or something similair) and a articulated screen, because I can't bend very well. The problem is there are some many camera's, that I can't tell the trees from the forest. So, does any of you have a some advice. Maybe you have just bought a camera and can tell something about it. Kind regards, Reinier Looking for a good compact camera - dave9t5 - 02-13-2015 Sony RX100 II 28-100mm (eq), tilting screen, $600 USD Sony RX100 (I) 28-100mm (eq), fixed screen, $500 USD Looking for a good compact camera - Klaus - 02-14-2015 Well, what about a GM1 or even a Pentax Q-S1 ? Admittedly no articulated screen here but they have the coolness factor on their side. Really nice stuff. The GM1 has a better IQ, of course, but the Q is even more cute. The GM1 is more pocketable though. The Q's standard zoom lens is fairly "long". The GM1 has one drawback though - your EOS 5D may collect dust. ;-) Looking for a good compact camera - Brightcolours - 02-14-2015 Canon PowerShot G1 X:
Looking for a good compact camera - Reinier - 02-14-2015 Thanks guys, I will check these camera's out. By the way I am not bound by Canon. I don't care about what brand the camera is as long as it is a good one and it's not to small for my type of hands. Kind regards, Reinier |
