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.
What are your subjects going to be? Will they be stationary (inanimate), fairly stationary (adults, older kids), or moving around (kids, animals)?
What do you intend to do with the photos? Share on social media, crop them, print them, or a mix?
I think they’ll be mostly stationary to fairly stationary.
I am satisfied with just keeping them to myself, printing sounds fun though.
I’d like to share them but I don’t use instagram, so I don’t know about that.
