I’m wondering if there is a recommendation for a small camera to take hiking, or just for general convenience. I like to turn my phone off when I’m out so I can properly disconnect, plus I’m winding down my phone dependency in general.
Something to point and shoot would be nice, but I’m potentially interested in learning a bit about using some actual camera techniques.
OM-5 of Panasonic G100 would probably be great for what you need. Can also get used/older micro 3/4 gear for pretty cheap as the other commenter said.
I like to walk around with my GX-85 (sadly discontinued now) and a 14-150 zoom, it’s a very good combo. 12-100 is better, but more $. Even the kit 12-32 is a surprisingly good lens.
