I am thinking of Buying a Bridge Camera
Posted: Mon Jan 08, 2018 1:30 pm
I am thinking of buying a bridge camera for Overseas travel - Mainly to cut down carry on weight.
I travel long haul at least once a year, mainly to visit different airports and take photographs.
Last year - Hong Kong, Japan and Thailand.
This year - USA - Florida, Mexico, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
My current gear consists of :-
Camera - Canon 70d
Lenses -all Canon L series - 20-105 L, 70-200 L, 70-300 L, 100-400 L.
I normally Fly with one of the 1st two lenses AND one of the last two.
I am thinking of buying a Bridge Camera - either a Canon SX60HS, OR A Panasonic FZ82.
I fully realise that a bridge camera costing a few hundred pounds is not going to give me the quality of a DLSR with L series lenses.
I am wondering how much quality I will be sacrificing while benefiting from the weight reduction.
Any views, experience or input welcome.
