Hi all,
This is my first time posting on this site! I'm a beginner-to-moderate DSLR user, and I am trying to come back from a hiatus of about two years since I used my DSLR (a Canon) for anything. I am going to try selling that old one and upgrading to a newer model for an upcoming trip to Europe. If you all could give your advice on the type of camera and lenses I should look for, I would be very grateful!
I'll provide as many specs/priorities for my new camera. I know Pentax is a great brand, and I have read what I can about the differences between the two, but if you could provide any more insight that would be great. Thanks in advance!
ME:
25/male
Left-handed
Experience: Moderate (I understand aperture/exposure/basic photography principles, but I lack experience!)
GOALS: I would like to take pictures of
General nature (since I'm traveling)
Wide-lens photography
Astrophotography
Personal photos
CAMERA SPECS:
Manual controls, but wouldn't mind automatic/P&S options
LIGHTWEIGHT - I want to take this thing everywhere! *This includes lens weight*
Durable
Thoughts on lenses, camera, etc.? I can provide more details if that helps. I'm mostly looking for personal stories/experiences with your own camera, that may or may not affect my purchasing decision. Thanks again!
