Hi, thinking of getting my paws on a new camera.
I’m reasonably competent with a camera, heck I even have a degree in photography, did a few exhibitions did a fair amount of paid published work..but that was in the days Before digital.
I did get a Sony alpha SLR about 15 years back and it was ok, just a ball ache too lug about. I currently have a Fuji XP compact thing that’s waterproof and rugged and small…it’s a compact that I can drop while cycling or give to the kids.
I’m looking for something with a little more to it.
Small enough to carry or put in frame top bag.
A viewfinder would be great
Manual/Aperture priority/shutter priority essential
Ability to go F1.something /f22 ish and preview would be great.
Spot metering also would be handy
I’m not crazy about integrated zoom lenses, but if the rest of the camera is the shiznit then I’ll go along. I used to enjoy old coupled rangefinder cameras back in the day..anything like that?
I’ve looked at Richoh Gr ii/iii and they seem interesting. Also Sony A6000
Anything else I should be looking at?
