thinking of getting Nex7 or Olympus EM-5

reason is travelling with a 7D overseas and into the wilderness is really tiring.... its heavy and when go in to jungle or hiking also affraid i damage it becoz it is so big.

This 2 seems nice but i cant decide.
EM-5 lens small and got weather seal.
Nex-7 very nice build camera but those lens are all giant size (which is like my canon)

Ah!

Envy you. If i have the budget, i will definitely opt for EM5 without a doubt. =)

Type 1 - G1x from Canon if you dun care interchangeable. G12 not bad also. Total damage, about 2k+

Type 2 - Macro lens aint cheap. Around 1k++ Maybe a 60D + 1855 + a macro lens of your choice. Will cost bout 4k+ already for this.

Type 1 + Type 2 = 7k liddat liao.

Thank you very much for the reply bro, appreciate it
I know nuts about cameras... just helping my supervisor to choose and buy

Canon G12 so expensive one ar bro? Maybe will go for older models or something haha~

I hope you don't mind me asking a stupid question bro
But how do you tell which macro lens to choose?

How about a budget of RM6k? Manageable?

Thanks in advance bro, and sorry for so many questions

Noooo.

G12 is about 1,5k or less. I am stating 2k+ for the new G1x

Can manage for sure, just need adjust here and there lo..

Macro, maybe something like Tamron SP90 - 1500+

Add your 60D + 1855 around 3000+

Total 6k out abit if you willing to nego or compromise.

Oh I see,
G1x is a model name? Sorry about that haha
Thanks for the feedback!
Do you have a salesthread or something? Your siggy links don't work

Nuked em already. Annoyed to update them for nothing.

Canon G1X is the model.

Anything you might need to ask further, can ask or PM. Same thing nia.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : macro Lens
Budget: 1k-1.4k (new/used)
Your Location: kl
Preferable brand : canon/tamron/sigma
Type of photography u want to do : macro
Any specific models in mind? : tamron 90mm, sigma 150mm
Any specific features u want? : macro shots. im mostly gonna be shooting still objects but im not sure if i should get tamron 90mm or sigma 150mm

Ever consider Canon? the 50mm f/2.5 compact macro one, else top up few more hundred bucks for the 100mm f/2.8. Have no past experience dealing with tamron 90mm / sigma 150mm.

i did consider canon 100mm f/2,8. but the lens that i borrowed from my brother in law wasnt impressive at all. considering the price tag compared to both tamron and sigma..
