p.3 #14 · p.3 #14 · "Travel" Camera Analysis Paralysis - NEX 6 or RX100 or? | |
If you really want a zoom, I would strongly recommend buying the NEX-6 body only and adding a used copy of the 18-55 instead of the power zoom. It's slightly less wide, but it's optically worth its extra bulk and the zoom is mechanical, so it's one less thing to break while you're on vacation. Used copies can be had for about what the PZ would add to the kit cost or less.
That said, since you've accepted the need to pano and stitch anyway, I'd scrap the zoom and just pick up a Siggy 19/2.8 for architecture and landscape, which will produce shots much easier to stitch than either of the zooms at the same focal length, and a 35/1.8 for everything else vacationy. If there's room in the budget and you see the need for something longer, you could pick up the 50/1.8 or really go nuts and pick up an inexpensive manual focus normal to short tele and decent adapter so you can take advantage of the great MF tools on the NEX. Something like a Canon FD 50/1.4 or Olympus OM 50/1.4 would be nice and small, or the Contax 85/2.8, which is incredibly sharp and not big for an 85, or the Minolta Rokkor-M 90/4, which is sharp and has a pleasing color pallet.
I hope that helps. Enjoy the vacation.
