We’ve booked a week away to Portugal in 4wks time, will probably be going somewhere else later in the year.
Ok, normally for foreign holidays I take my phone and the Panasonic Lumix TZ70 travel camera. But I always regret not bringing a better camera despite the fact the travel zoom always delivers.
I’m not confident to trust my RP not had it long and already I find I dislike using the EVF in bright sunlight, the viewfinder image looks nothing like what my eyes see, yet in shade, overcast or indoors it’s amazing.
I’ve ruled out crop (SL2, 70d, 80d, 7dii etc etc) as their physical size are not much smaller than either the 6d or RP. Also ruled out the 6dii and 5diii as I think both are overkill for a family holiday. But maybe my M50 & 18-150 could be a serious contender.
But up to now I’m liking the idea of just my 6d and 40 stm plus my iPhone (28mm)
Never been to Portugal. I don’t want photography to take over, I’d just like to bring back great memories
Any advice would be welcome...Show more →
I can't see going to Portugal and taking a 40mm and a phone. I used to take even 300/2.8 at times, even took it on a plane, now I'm more like 3 zooms. One trip to utah/AZ I took 17-35 sigma, 11-16, & 55-250. Really great range, 18-400 ff equivalent!!! One trip really happy carrying the light kit zooms, 18-55 & 55-250, on the beach. 55-250 has pretty great zoom macro too, if you don't need to get too close like 1:1. What lenses do you have? I'd hate to be limited to 40mm. I don't particularly enjoy phone photography, myself
Bill Claff has a 6D labeled ML, on his DR measurements, that pretty much matches the latest Rf DR. So you might check out Magic Lantern for the 6D. I'd probably take 5D3 or 6D2 though, not much heavier, if any, I'd guess. The SL2 is very light, I'd probably be considering that, as well.
