Camera shopping advice

1 year 9 months ago #740625 by anascyu178
Hi all,

I am looking to buy a camera. I like to photograph mainly people (portraits, street). I would also like that I can travel with (landscapes - not the main focus), but something not very heavy would be great!

I went to a camera shop recently to try different brands and bodies. I received advice from one of the sellers that a good option would be a Fujifilm XS10, however, it is currently sold out in Europe. So, I tried a Fuji E-4 and a 23mm f2, but the viewfinder and the image quality were not very impressive. I also tried a Nikon Z6, I think, but I didn't really like it on my hands. I tried also a sony a7iv (which is too recent and also too expensive), but I liked the ergonomics and I took a couple of photos with the kit lens and I found them better than the other setup with the prime lens, actually. Could you give me some advice on other alternatives?
Thanks for the help!

If you like the fuji manual controls the Nikon ZFC w/ kit lens is a great cropped sensor camera or the Nikon Z5 w/ kit lens for a full frame camera.

If vlogging is important to you the Nikon Z30 is a great still camera but excellent for vlogging too.
