FWIW a holiday "Backpacking" really should be about "weight-reduction"
-Unless OP has some existing kit (eg Lenses) which are "essential" .
The debate between APSC and Micro4/3 is tricky as both are smaller/lighter than Full-Frame ( which is also VERY expensive ).
A modest mirrorless, with either a fixed-zoom ( being more compact and better protected usually) -or a modest zoom "should" be a good choice - - - and if it's looking "like a Compact" should not cause any issues when abroad.
If it has an HD movie-mode, so much the better, as this will (should!) record decent Audio to give any slideshow some "Extra" - even if the movie isn't yet wanted, it is another aspect of the trip which a "Still" cannot convey.... er, IMHO.
OP needs to have plenty of storage batteries!
Whilst a 3:1 Zoom is somewhat restrictive, these KIT lenses are quite compact and decent aperture - if OP needs to take Sunsets, then a Series taken, using a tripod or clamp, will convey the beauty - and as others have stated.... most cameras have a "Sunset Scene" facility - just remember to return to "normal" afterwards.
Good Tripping! |
