I got my Christmas bonus yesterday and got some quick sales from a recent fashion show. Asking my wife what to do with the money she has told me to use it to renew my business licence and insurance and then the rest can goto gear as her gift to me will be allowing me to spend the money and not throw it into our kitchen. Lol
So I went out yesterday and bought a Sony A7 kit. I really don't like it. It feels awkward and the kit lens is huge. It is FF though. Not very compact once you start throwing lenses on it. I already got a D800 and the K3 which can get bulky with the larger lenses.
The video mode is quite good though which is very important to me at this stage in my career. The only thing I kind of like about it. But the AF hunts a lot, even after fine tuning and adjusting controls. The zebras are awesome. But the shot to shot speed is crap....
So I'm going to take it back and get something else....
I was thinking of resisting m4a/3 as I really really loved my EM5.
I was thinking EM1....
But what would be the best bang for the buck for a $1600 kit using m4/3 that gives me quick shutter speed, good AF, a decent buffer, and a nice prime or two? A nice video package would be great as well.
Or Nikon V3?
Compact travel camera with EVF that can still perform professionally... Lol that's a lot to ask
Oooorrrrrre
Ricoh GR and a Macro lens
