Hi All... I've been banging my head against the wall trying to choose a camera system.
I have unique feature desires. I'm an avide hiker, climber, mountaineer and I'd love to find a very compact system to take on trips. These trips can vary from extreme cold -20F conditions to relatively warm conditions. Key is form factor, weight and size... I weigh all of my gear on a gram scale so every little ounce counts.
I'm torn between the Sony A6300, Fuji XT10, or a Micro 4/3 system like the Olympus E5. Micro 4/3 looks really desierable since the lenses are so compact. I'm mainly interested in wide fast glass in the 24mm equivalent range along with a fast 50mm equivalent prime.
The downside to the M43 system is obviously image quality, low light, and getting that sweet bokeh subject isolation.
The Sony A6300 seems really awesome, but the prime lenses are super expencive and not very compact.
Fuji seems like an excellent option as well but it's poor video quality is kind of a bummer... I don't plan to shoot 100% video but having the option to make something nice looking would be ideal. the 4K abilities of the A6300 are an obvious advantage.
The other side of the delema is I will be using this system for family pictures and events. Portrait type shots... where FF or APS-C has a big advantage to me.
Guide me gear heads... I can't make up my mind. Will the olympus M43 system bum me out? The Oly OMD E-M1 with 12-40 kit is on sale for a really good price. I'm tempted!
