Hello,
How are you?
So, since my last post about wanting to buy a compact camera, i did a lot of thinking and reading online and I didn't buy a thing yet...
I've been thinking... I really like my 5D, but I'm just not using it... I mean I haven't used it for a few months.
The last time I used it to get a serious amount of pictures was when on holiday in Italy in 2011. I like the pictures very much, but walking through Venice and Firenze all day with the 5D and 24-105 and spare batteries and filters and hood, was not very enjoyable...
So i'm really considering selling the DSLR and just jump to a mirrorless system...
If I do so, my main two contenders will be the NEX-7 for the NEX system or the Panasonic GX1 for the Micro Four thirds...
I'm just really torn beetween these two choices...
I think the NEX-7 is a great camera, with a great sensor, great control, great EVF... You name it...
The thing for me is the NEX as a system...
The lenses are just not there...
The ones that exist are too big, like the 18-55 kit, the 50 OSS and the Zeiss 24.
The 16mm pancake makes it kind of pockatble, but I'm not found of the focal length of 16mm prime on APS-c...
The panasonic is a great little camera.
It has a smaller sensor, which in turn means less detail, dynamic range and more noise. But is it really that much less of everything IQ wise?
Also, the Micro foir thirds system is more matured and has a great choice of small primes, and primes that are not that small, but have great optics...
The Focal lengths of it's primes I think would suit me more...
I could have the 20mm 1.7 and have a pockatble camera, and if I wanted, I could have zooms for walk-around, tele-zooms fo plane spotting and a bit of wild-life, primes for portraits...
I'm just afraid to go Micro four thirds and in 4 or 5 months time, Sony launches some great new lenses...
I don't know, but I also think that because the sensor of the Sony is so big and the camera sooo thin, they cannot build quality optics that are as small as micro four thirds...
Is it true?
Would the IQ be better with a GX1 and Lumix 25mm 1.4 or NEX-7 with 18-55 kit?
What would you take and why?
Please help me out here...
I keep going back and forth beetween choices...
Thank you!
Cheers!
