Ok, so I'm planning on taking the grandkids on a Disney Cruise in Oct, should I bring my T3i with one or several lens, ( sigma 24-70, canon 55-250, 18-55, I do have a couple other lens, but don't think they would be right for this, or I was thinking about buying a canon sx50, what are your thoughts?
Hello. The most important is have fun and relax. I don't know how fast the sx50 for auto focus on children. Most of my experience is that point and shoots are usually slower then a dslr. If the grand kids are young that might be an issue. I would definently take the 24-70. I would also take the Tamron 18-270 as my walk about lens when on or off ship. I've been on 2 cruises and used my Tamron when a lot I was on excursions. I found that lugging a heavy bag of gear on excursions was more awkward and cumbersome getting in and out of the transports that were used. Most excursions moved really fast so I didn't get a chance to stop and think about what lens to use. I just tried to find a compostion that worked best. My next cruise I will take my Tamron 18-270, Sigma 24-70 2.8 and Canon 100mm macro. I use a Canon 70d. I always carry a point and shoot, but I give that to the wife to use or not. I hope this is helpful
