Priorities in order:
- 80-90% SOOC (can’t give much time to editing). I am ready to give time to learning and practicing manual controls though.
- ergonomic, light.
- travel photos, capturing scenes like I see them with my eyes.
- low light photos.
- long-lasting gear. Okay with getting prime and telephoto lens later if needed.
- videography is not a priority as of now, may explore later.
Thanks!
Update: Decided to go with Fujifilm X-S10 + XF 18-55mm F2.8-4.0
as I liked the fuji SOOC jpegs more. Sigma lens would have been sweet but I’m okay with the tradeoff.
Thank you everyone for being so helpful.
Update 2: Finally went with Fujifilm X-T30 II + XF 18-55mm F2.8-4.0
instead for looks, this was a close one as I had to give up Ibis and that grip.
SOOC?
Anyway, I am a big fan of the Lumix cameras, started with my Lumix GX80 back in 2018, and upgraded to an S5 last spring.
I just love the colors of Lumix cameras, they are just so intence.
Though I am thinking about getting a Sony A7 III as it has a much faster autofocus system, and I like to do planespotting.
I just found out what SOOC means, Straight Out Of Camera, which is what I mainly do, I hardly edit at all.
Here is a photo I took with my GX80 a few years ago:
That’s a beautiful shot :)
Thank you, it is straight from the camera!
