Expert guidance wanted to purchase mirrorless camera
Jan 13, 2017 15:36:31 #
I am looking to purchase a camera soon - have used 35mm, DSLRs. I want a smaller body for outdoor with lots of hiking. Also am wanting to do night photography and stop anime. Any suggestions? Have been looking at Fuji x100t but I want interchangeable lenses. Any ideas?

I have the Sony a6000 and really like it. I have the 2 kit lenses and a Sigma 19mm and get very good shots, there is a learning curve, but that is true of any system. I have gotten lazy and shoot mostly on green auto.

No question about it, the Olympus is the best! They have been making small & mirrorless cameras longer then anyone.
Olympus has the Olympus F on sale for $ 999.00 right now. They also have the OMD models
a little less money. Also look into Olympus refirbished camera's & lenses direct from Olympus. You won't be
able to tell them from new.

The Sony a6000 is a very good camera too. However their lenses are very expensive being made for Sony by
Zeiss

Hi Rawlins,
Welcome to the 'Hog! You've definitely come to the right place for opinions! (Although the "Expert" might be a bit of a stretch ;)
I own the Fuji X-t2 and love it! But the Sony, Olympus, and Panasonic cameras are excellent, as well. My best suggestion is to get to a real camera shop and get some true "expert" opinions. The features of many of these fine cameras are similar, as are build quality, lens options, etc. Technical specs, opinion, and reviews are important but it's sometimes how the camera feels in your hands that makes the difference. For example, I knew i was interested in the X-t2, but it wasn't until I had it in my hands that I knew this was the camera i wanted.
Have fun making your selection. Take your time. These cameras will last a very long time and you'll want to be sure you like the system, lens options, support, peripherals available, etc...
