Dear forum members,
As a reader for some time now (feel like you have a friendly attitude and helpful mind), I decided to ask for your advice when choosing a new camera to replace my Nikon I sold for some months back. I have been using an entry DSLR the last few years but still see myself as a novice and wish to develop my photographic skills, learn to better process my pictures and to profit from the final result.
So it comes to what I would like in a camera:
1. Can be carried in a small camera bag or in a pocket of my jacket.
2. Need to have one zoom lens and/or primes (will share the camera with my wife).
3. Have great general photo qualities with great low light capabilities.
4. Change common options with ease.
Most of all I would like a camera that I can grow with.
Cameras I have taken a look at till now were Olympus Pen E-P5, OM-D 5, Panasonic GX7, Panasonic GM1 and Sony RX100 mk1/2.
I have some questions about a few things:
• How important is an IBIS on a camera? May I take clear pictures handheld in low light with something like a Panasonic GM1 and a fast prime?
• Is the sensor size that important in M43 vs. RX100?
• Having a smaller camera that fit in your pocket, does it make you use your camera more vs. carrying a camera bag?
• What are your opinions on the cameras mentioned above?
I would love your inputs and suggestions that may help me choose the right camera for my needs. My budget is wide enough and I prefer paying more for having something I can enjoy over the years to come. In addition I have had the possibility to touch the cameras but not to operate them.
Thank you in advance for your help
