Hi Everyone! I'm not on this board very much as my only camera is a Sony RX 100 pocket camera I got about four years ago (I think it's version III) It's pretty great for travel, especially at WDW when I don't want to have something bulky to carry. But we're going on a DCL cruise to Alaska in 2019, and 70mm is just not going to be enough range. Since I'm comfortable with Sony's menus and still want something lightweight, I'm considering the A7. I'm thinking of buying just the body and getting the Sony 70mm-300mm lens (this one). Will that be enough reach for shots of eagles, whales, etc? Not really hoping for bears since we are going in May, but we might stop to see the bears in Grouse mountain. And then I can bring the RX 100 for mid-range shots. Will I wish I had a wider lens? The Sony 12-24mm looks amazing but $$$ but maybe I can rent it. Also, I want the telephoto lens for getting my husband when he surfs. I don't think I will need it much in low light, even though it would be nice to have something that could shoot sunset surf sessions.
Thanks!
Thanks!
