Hi, I currently have a Canon 30d which I’ve obviously had for donkeys years. I haven’t actually used it for ages though, I think mainly because it’s too bulky. I’ve taken some pictures that I’m really pleased with though and are hung up.
In July I’m going out to Kenya for the second time and as part of that trip I’ll be doing a couple of safaris, so I’d obviously like to take a camera. My question really is should I get another smaller, lighter dslr, or look at one of the other styles? Mirrorless? Compact? I’m not really sure if the difference to be honest.
I don’t mind having to have a couple of lenses, but obviously if there’s no real benefit then I’d rather not. I like having control over shutter speed, aperture etc, so want a *proper* camera, not just a point and shoot.
I also have a good selection of filters, so a camera with the ability to attach filters would be a bonus.
I’d be looking to spend whatever I can trade my stuff in for (probably £300-400 including lenses and accessories) plus maybe the same again and would consider second hand. Apart from the safari, it would mainly be for landscape.
Thanks in advance,
Dom
