I always recommend to go with one of the big two for cameras. Except neither has managed to make a great mirrorless camera. I do have a Sigma 30mm lens for my Sony. Have you looked at the Canon SL-1? Its about the same weight as the A but gives you access to all the canon lenses.

My concern about mirrorless is they often have really good specs on auto focus speeds but slow in practice. It would be interesting to take one out on a moving subject and see how many keepers you get. I have even used the SL1 using high end lenses for my sons hockey team pics and it performed well.

The kit lens is fine for travel and you could always add a prime lens for low light. No wifi and gps but you can get sd cards with wi-fi so that's not an issue. The a is a lot smaller and better in pretty much every way.

I have a Metabones adapter so I can use my Canon glass, but I bought the a because it's compact so that kinda defeats the purpose. And now, I'm in the a camp, debated going down to the NEX 5 series but thats really too small for these man mitts. Then the NEX 6 has horror stories about their menu set up and how unorganized it is. Really, I should just pony up the dough and get the a I don't want to get good at using these things and regret the small stuff later like having a viewfinder. The size issue was a big factor in my decision to go Mirrorless. As a person who spent a lot of money on photographic equipment including five pro bodies and a variety of expensive lenses, my advice for a novice is to not fall into a quasi-professional camera trap set by camera store salespeople.

Most amateur-grade DSLR's are simply not good enough for anything, regardless of the maker. And this is putting it mildly. From your original post I understand that you need a reliable, easy to use camera for memories while traveling. It is a very compact and lightweight setup that would help you take excellent sharp high-res photos. I bought one for my wife and we took it with us to Switzerland last month. Very impressive little thing. Don't buy kit zooms that are also offered with it sometimes; they are crappy and useless.

If you ever decide to take photography up a notch, Nikon One body can take any pro-grade Nikon F-mount full-frame lens with a simple adapter. And it should fit your budget nicely. Any questions, PM me, will be happy to help. Sample shots in different lighting situations in a green programmable mode nothing set manually: I'm surprised it hasn't been said already maybe because of budget but if you can find one in your budget range, Fuji is currently making an unbeatable range of mirrorless cameras.

If it's not in the picture, then I'd go with Sony who makes some of the best lenses available. I, for one, applaud the decision to forgo the DSLR for something a little different and something that is really a lot more well suited to most people's needs. Whatever you choose, choose the highest quality build with what "feels right" to you. I have an X-Pro, and the wife has a high end Sony point-and-shoot. It's a great combo together.

Look at the images produced by each camera with similar lenses, and see how you like the quality and colouring of the images. Regardless, it sounds like you're going to pick up a great camera. My personal opinion: If you're looking to do nightscapes, you need manual exposure up to 30 seconds and a tripod.

I wouldn't want to travel with a single prime lens. I'd want a zoom! If you're looking to do nightscapes, you need manual exposure and a tripod. A zoom By the way, since we're talking mirrorless here. I picked up the 56mm 1.

Took a few shots of my wife in a dark museum and the detail it picked up was out of this world. No motion blur, just perfection. If any Fuji shooter is considering it, do it, the lens will make you jam your jeans. A zoom and a prime is a much better combo. I'm probably going to be slaughtered by those who love cameras Pitch fork comment Sony makes great photo taking cameras for idiots like me, or strangers who never stray from auto, in the mirrorless and the RX lines.

I currently own a NEX 5N. It's "small" but it's still clunky as to run around with on a vacation if you don't have a dedicated camera bag. Great low light shots even though the NEX 5N lacks a dedicated flash. The ability of someone picking up the RX for the first time and taking a picture is excruciatingly low which is important to me. I was playing around with it at a Sony store and could only get blurry photos in semi low light if I moved half an inch after pushing the shutter.

Maybe it's not what you want, but give it a spin anyways. It's in your budget, it'll take great pics and it'll save you the weight of a bigger camera when running around on vacation. Even if you feel like a mirrorless or DSLR in the future, the RX still will make a great secondary and I don't foresee many point and shoots that size completely humiliating it any time soon. If you want to toy around, it has options, plus you can play with the flash angle to be a little artistic or something that wobbly flash is actually a feature apparently.

If that's putting it mildly, I'd like to see you put it not-mildly. My advice to the OP is to not get too caught up in "specs" ie, 11fps vs 9fps seriously does not matter at all. Neither does MP at this point in the game. You will probably like some extra zoom not a prime and probably want fast smart autofocus. Tie-breaker is ease of use and comfort. The ability to quickly change shutter speed, aperture, ISO is a definite bonus. I have a Fuji xs, but I would hesitate to recommend it to a beginner, because I can see the learning curve being frustrating.

I don't have any experience with the cameras you're looking at, but when people say the kit lens sucks, they are usually pixel-peeping nerds. Every kit lens I've ever seen for any camera is good enough for a beginner. Don't sweat it. Viewfinders are awesome You say, "I don't want to get good at using these things and regret the small stuff later like having a viewfinder.

It would mean you stuck with photography long enough that you've reached the limitations of your camera. Consider it a learning fee and be excited you can start to peep at pixels like the rest of us nerds. The camera you're holding while standing in front of that interesting thing isn't a big deal. Ah yes I really don't get why people run around spouting specs on cameras.

It's like running around spouting specs on a computer. As sun said, the best camera is a camera you use. You're not going to die of eye cancer because you started taking instagram photos on an iphone. A amateur grade SLR isn't going to turn you blind, but the risk is that if you enter that amateur range SLR, you'll quickly desire to upgrade or downgrade.

Go big or go home is good advice as long as you will use the camera you purchase. Do you already use an SLR or mirrorless? Then you know the pains. If not, try borrowing one any one , maybe a friend with a back up collecting dust, I dunno. Go hiking with it and take beautiful pictures with it and some point and shoot and then go home and compare the photos and evaluate whether the higher picture quality is worth it.

Pictures have a shelf life for me for like 2 weeks before they're buried in whatever back up drive till who knows when. Definitely don't see anything wrong with your comment, not that I've done enough to be a camera guy. The photo quality is great for the RX especially for its class as a point and shoot.

At the same time if you want specifically a point and shoot it fails a little bit in that regard with being slightly chunkier and not as quick as its comparables in focusing. Quality both build and photography wise, it has no equal. Maybe when the RX comes out but of course that will cost a pretty penny. Bounce flash is always a neat feature to have. To throw my 2 cents, along with Fuji being mentioned as a Mirrorless alternative, Olympus has to be in the conversation as well for starter gear.

Honestly wish I went down that route now that I know what I know. Also as for traveling, shooting with wide only all day. I like to live dangerously. Thanks for the posts and opinions. I guess a little background on what I like to take pictures of may clear things up a little bit. I'm a big Scenery and Landscape fan.

I'd like to finally own something that takes great night pictures and has a good clean deep ISO range. I should clarify I've not heard one camera salesman speak once about any of the cameras. I've done the research my self through extensive comparisons online. I've tried finding picture and video Samples of the type if pictures I like to take and basing my judgments on such.

Even tried to find just the shots with the stock lenses.

The Samsung though is on par from what I've seen in the range for night shots. As for Olympus and Fuji, I admit I haven't dove into too much of their products during my research. Maybe I will in the next few days but I do know their bodies are a fair bit smaller than the two I am looking at. At least from what I've seen when I went to get some hands on experience with the two I mentioned.

I made mention of my big hands before so in that aspect I'd like something a tad bigger with a great grip. As far as lenses go, some recommendations for landscapes would be appreciated. Trying to read through the online reviews on the lenses alone is a monumental task as there is a ton of bias.

Keep in mind price is a factor. I'd love to grab one of the Zeiss lenses if I bought the Sony but they're with more than the camera. So on top of the kit lense would I be better off with a telephoto lens or the 16mm pancake? They have them for both the Sony and Samsung. For landscape shots, I've always loved using a panorama mode which I think the RX has as well. I'm guessing most mirrorless have it too.

I find this mode it kills the battery though. Night shots on the NEX 5N using auto settings are phenomenal. I occasionally point it at darkness and take a snapshot and see what it picks up. Surprises me a lot. I'm sure the later NEX models are even better. I'm not sure about landscapes, but I always found the pancake lens was great for people pics and event photos.

But getting other people to take photos I mainly use the mm lens which came with the camera. IIRC, most people are pretty happy with the outcomes using this lens. Not sure if you would be able to do that. Most of the camera guys at London Drugs know their stuff too and are happy to tell you their personal experience with the cameras. Either way, depending on your budget and speaking generally, you can typically get away with a fast pancake lens for both landscape and low light situations. Generally you'd want the short focal length to take more in both for landscape and the lack of room when you're out in the town.

If you want to expand and get a even faster prime or wider lens you can but whichever system that can provide you with that pancake lens will be a great start. Granted, kit lens as sun mentioned will be good enough to start. Don't get caught up in wanting better when you don't have the budget for it or the reference for yourself personally to determine how much better the other gear is.

A common advice I've see is to go cheap on the body and spend on the glass assuming you want to expand down the road but I don't think that's as relevant for Mirrorless. I would go with the Sony. The sensor will be important for low-light photos. Samsung has yet to make a strong reputation for their hardware and especially glass. I have a Fuji xs, but I would hesitate to recommend it to a beginner I didn't want to put in not-mildly, lots of people have them and are happy using them.

I've used many of them, I've had many of them and still have some. They are not good. Reality is, that everything else in those cheapos is usually lousy; plus, the glass in them is usually horrible. You see it by taking a wide-angle view shot, for example, and then trying to crop the image to something smaller only to find out that you can't, because the overall IQ is poor.

How's that for not-mildly? The big problem of this and most other forums is not reading the OP. I mean, yeah, Fuji XS is a decent rangefinder. Fuji X-PRO-1 is even better. I've used it myself and I would not hesitate to recommend it. Why are you concerned with any ISO other than the minimum? I'll tell you why you might want to care about ISO: So currently the main runners by OP are: So do you still think the V1 is a better choice?

I'm curious to hear your thoughts because I've read nothing but mediocre reviews of it. I have the olympus epl-5 and it is a great camera. Check out lens selection of the body you want. Because you are buying into a system just not a body.

With the Olympus focus is very snappy for stills. With moving objects its more work and certainly doesn't track like a good dlsr. I mainly use 2 lenses. A 20mm 1. Olympus is a two times crop.

That covers most of my needs and fits into a jacket pocket. Looks like he edited the amounts. After using it extensively for 2 weeks and taking over 1, shots, I can tell you of many small and big shortcomings Nikon V1 system has if compared to a DE or D3X bodies. But why bother? At that price, I can get two solid lenses and a memory card.

Geez I need pay day to hurry up!! Wait a minute, if you're going to be backpacking or travelling light, especially for a year - you're coming at this the wrong way. Forget camera specs and bringing a bunch of lenses - what you'd need is something compact, good range zoom, manual controls, and weatherproofable. I laughed at the German guy and his NEX-5 lugging this satchel of lenses everywhere and trying to change in the dust of the Namibian desert. Not too expensive so if it does get stolen it's not the end of the world. Discrete too so you don't attract unwanted attention. I'm a photographer but a traveller first - and that means a compromise on the camera side.

Forget camera specs and bringing a bunch of lenses - what you'd need is something compact, good range zoom, manual controls, and weatherproofable To be honest, I'm going to wait on the lense purchases but still get the A with the stock lense. The reality for me is I want to invest in photography and grow int the lenses.

At least with the A it's small enough to take with me wherever. I like the flexibility of the inter changeable lenses going in to the future.

I just get ahead of myself sometimes when making purchases like this and get caught up in all the doodads and trinkets that come with it. Thanks for the advice though. Much appreciated. Does anyone have an opinion on the Panasonic gx7? Its higher in price but has the best of both world as it has a great viewfinder AND touchscreen. Seems fairly dummy proof but then again the low light shots aren't getting rave reviews.

Finally made the purchase today. Got the A and I'm not regretting it one bit. Menu is easy and simple to navigate, pictures are great and there's on one lens I want to get before I leave Sony mm 1. Really glad I went with the A Just testing the continuous shutter speed on some dogs playing and the AF does real good work keeping them in focus. Thanks for the tips. Maybe I'll post some pics on the never ending photo thread soon.

Bumping this instead of starting my own with two questions. I'm going to be travelling and wanted something decent, yet not too crazy so if it somehow got stolen I wouldn't kill myself. Second, what is the best way to deal with picture upload on the go if I don't want to carry a laptop around? Are there accessories that one can buy to upload pics off a smart card to something like Drive or Dropbox?

Total camera newb here: How long is your trip? Memory is pretty cheap these days - if you're going to take so many photos that you can't just buy memory, chances are you won't want to wait for a cloud upload either. If you think you'll have access to computers and not just locked-down, internet cafe computers you could consider a card reader and a portable hard drive.

Otherwise you'd want something like one of these: My issue is more paranoia than capacity. If I lose a camera to theft or something, I can deal with that. If I lose the pictures I took a week back from the memory card on the camera, that's another story. You can even use your phone as a remote for the camera and the photos will immediately transfer to your phone.

You can also immediately upload to Flikr or facebook too. I think some canon models may have these features. Really handy apps. But I do recommend the Sony A to anyone looking for a small package camera with excellent features. I don't regret buying it one bit. I say this as it is small for travel and takes great pictures. I saw your original post and felt it was a little out of my desired price range. But a smaller size might be nice, and the cost isn't too much in difference. I'll look into that one too. After using the Kit Lense a bit, I found the desire to get a good wide angle zoom lense.

As far as Macro to Portrait style pictures, does a great job. Scenery pictures its a little to be desired for upon initial looks, but once you get the pictures into the photo shop and zoom in on what you want, you realize its capable. You definitely get the desire to play with more lenses after a while. BUt as a stand alone, it does the trick. Quoting myself from a photo backup thread, but relevant none-the-less. I go a few routes for that: Then swap and leave the full ones in the hotel room. That way if the camera bag is stolen, at least I have some of my pics.

I'm generally more concerned about SD card failure. Would an eyefi card provide a solution? I got the same camera about two weeks ago and can vouch for it too! I'm planning on taking it hiking, scrambling, and ski touring, so I needed something smaller than a full sized DSLR. I've been really impressed with the pictures so far.

A large part of it hinging on the fact that he's not a fan of Sony lenses.

Samsung tried to be even more forward-thinking by encoding video in the new H. In addition, the white building in the center shows more detail in both the very bright area closest to the camera and in the shaded area farther back. This is especially true at the right-hand grip, where the body slightly widens in a gentle curve that my fingers naturally slid around. Still, both cameras have great autofocus for this range of camera.

It took my fairly zippy MacBook Pro 2. New York City United States. Looking over dozens of photos from both burst and individual shooting , I found the Sony images to be sharper on average. The NX is one of a small but growing number of cameras that support the higher video resolutions known as ultra HD and 4K. Controls, especially the on-screen menus, are far more friendly than those of other camera brands. The NX easily beats Sony and other competitors for design. Focus was weaker by lower light, however, as this clip from the New York subway demonstrates.

Does Future Shop accept competitor Gift cars? The lower frame rate is a common trade-off in many cameras to provide enough bandwidth to support the higher resolution.
