Hi everyone, I'm heading to Rio for 2 weeks in July, and I'll be staying somewhere where I probably won't feel comfortable leaving my DSLR and all my equipment. I might be literally sleeping on a gym floor or in a church basement, for all I know.When I'm out volunteering, I may need to be carrying my camera with me in a *gasp* fanny pack kind of thing.
Which means, I need to buy a new camera. I need something that I has some manual controls as I can't go from my DSLR (and all my lenses) to something completely point and shoot.
It does not need to be able to fit in my pocket, that's not a big deal, as long as it can fit in something small enough, like a fanny pack that I can carry around my waist.
I was leaning towards the two I already mentioned, the Panasonic Lumix fz200 or the Sony rx100 (mainly due to pictures I've seen here). I like that the Lumix has the constant 2.8 and the big zoom. The Sony has a bigger sensor and more MPs (which is convenient sometimes).
Have any of you used either of these? I know that at least one of you has used the Sony because I've seen some great shots from it!!!
I can't go into a store to play with them either, because I haven't found any for sale around here. I'd have to get them on line.
