Walk around or bridge recommendation.
Apr 12, 2022 17:01:56 #
[quote=EdgarCPoone]I know this has been asked in various forms before, but I am looking for recommendations for a good bridge, compact camera. I have older Nikons, (D5300 and D7200) with a number of lenses. I do a fair amount of international and domestic travel and it is just a pain to lug those cameras and accessories around.
A bridge camera automatically eliminates carrying accessories.., all you need is the camera. The advantage is extended focal range all-in-one. This also negates the Sony, as to achieve bridge camera capability, you still need accessories.

Your example photo is of what's bad, not good??? At any magnification, everything is just clumps of blur.

Exactly my point - It is not a great landscape camera - which is what the OP was asking about. On the other hand, for stuff that is closer, it's pretty good - I do love the camera, despite its limitations - which I have decided I can live with and work around.

I have used the Leica V-Lux series (3 and 4) for a number of yrs. Recently repl the V-Lux 4 (corupted btty) with the V-Lux 5. Don’t like the menu sys, otherwise, very nice camera.

I agree with the Z50 recommendation. It’ll be comfortable and an easy learning curve since you already shoot Nikon. It can be had with the two excellent kit lenses for about $1200.

They don’t get discussed here much but the Canon EOS M50 Mark II Mirrorless Camera with EF-M 15-45mm lens is a good choice for a travel camera. That lens puts you at a 24-70 fx equivalent. It has a good evf. It works well fir landscape. Lenses are interchangeable. I have the M5 model which is a bit older and love it for lightweight travel.

I have an M50, not the mk II, and it's a really nice little camera.

Quite frankly, the image quality of the small Z50 with the tiny, 16-50mm kit lens mounted is significantly better than some of the other choices mentioned here. While some of them have many more features than the Z50, the only thing that really matters in my book is image quantity which is where the Z50 excels. With good glass, the output quality rivals that of a Nikon D7500, and some reviews say a D500 as well. The Z50 also has excellent build quality at its price point with a moderate amount of weather sealing and a magnesium alloy body .
