The perfectvacation camera?
17 Feb 2014 - sony rx1r, nikon d4, nikon d800e, semester
We'll soon be going to America for two weeks and we'll be visiting Disney World, Tampa Bay and whatever else you can do in Florida that's worth doing.
Last time we were there (2011) I choose not to bring my "big" camera, which at the time was a Nikon D3s, but we brought my wife's Nikon D80. The D80 is a really nice camera, but it has a couple of years under the belt and fails miserably in low light. Florida is usually pretty bright, of course, but at night and indoors it proved less than satisfactory.
Plus, the D80 is still rather big, even if it's a lot smaller than the D3s and my ciurrect D4.
So, what camera should I bring this time? I suppose I won't be able to manage without a proper SLR, so I'll bring my D800E which is bigger than the D80 but smaller than the D4. But I wouldn't want to lug around the D800 inside Disney World, so I'm pretty excited to bring along the Sony RX1R as my first vacation non-SLR as my everyday in-the-moment camera. It's tiny, versatile and performs like a champ in low light. I have great expectations. Sure, I can't zoom with it, but most of the time, I have a prime 50mm on my SLR when on vacation anyway.
So, a prime 35mm lens is rather limiting, which is why I'll bring along my D800 as well, only not into the parks.
The question is, however, what lenses to bring with the D800. My 50mm is a given, but I'm a bit unsure about what to photograph in Florida. Last time we were there, it was rather "barren" so to speak, but we only moved in the Orlando area. I'm guessing Tampa Bay has some really scenic parts. So a 70-200/2.8 swell perhaps, and then maybe the 24-70/2.8? I hate being there wishing I had brought a lens I did not. But 24-70, 70-200 and 50 should cover most occasions.
