QUOTE(dootdoot @ Aug 31 2016, 07:08 PM) Are any of the models suggested good for low light & night shoots though? I forgot that I mostly have a bad time with iPhone cameras now because I can't get good pics at night. Unfortunately fast lens compact camera don't come cheap. You need to spend a bit more for a good low light camera. There are cheaper older models like the 10mps DMC lumix with f2.0 lens which you probably get second hand or online. Alternatively you can buy a cheap entry level camera m4/3 or apsc (mirrorless) from second hand and pair it with a "pancake" prime lens which is usually fast and quite cheap depending on model. But still that probably still cost roughly around RM1800 if not mistaken. This post has been edited by DaddyO: Aug 31 2016, 09:04 PM |

QUOTE(dootdoot @ Aug 31 2016, 11:29 PM) Hmm, based on online reviews, I'm leaning towards RX100M2 atm but I'm gonna look for a 2nd hand Lumix. I'm too noob to spend more for a too advanced kit. I'm willing to go a bit more than 1.5k if that means the specs will be vastly better. I wont say advanced compact camera is for expert only. If you r into taking photos even only for instagram or FB, it is a worth while investment even if you have to do rm2k+ damage control in the meantime. Camera unlike phone can last quite a long while before obsolete. RX100mkiii is already close to 3 years, yet people still recommend it over newer models. |
