Afternoon Lads Cracking tips :thumbup: I just use a humble Lumix FZ38 , point and shoot method :palm: cant complain as its give good service over the passed 6 years , I like how compact it is ,great for travelling .BUT! I really could do with a camera that I can fit a wide angled lens to , so many times in museums I just cant get back enough to get what ever in shot , say like a large beam engine . So any recommendations on a small compact DSLR that I can have just two lens , I dont want to be lugging a bag load of camera kit all over Europe . Rob |

There are some cracking "mirrorless" cameras which lose the bulk and weight of the prism, mirror etc. For example, I have a Sony "NEX 5R" which I chose for its light weight (I use it for aerial photogrammetry from one of my UAVs) - couple of quick snaps attached.

Dave (IOM) --- End quote --- Hi Dave Nope , I just thought that was my only option if I was to have interchangeable lenses . What you have looks like just the job :thumbup: ,I will look into mirrorless cameras . Thanks Rob |

I did a lot of research and went with the Canon 70d. It's an amazing camera, I've just taken it to Spain with me. You can easily hold it out at arms length and selfie :-) and I appreciate that may not be your thing, but shows it is light! However, the real reason I purchased is because it gets amazing reviews for the video! The alternative would have been the Canon g7x mk2 if I'd have chosen a point and shoot. |
