Assistance required please on choosing Camera
Hi there everyone
I have just retired and would like to purchase a good quality camera for some travelling.
I know nothing about cameras apart from what I have read on the internet and the camera on my mobile phone.
I have read about DSLR's and they seem a wonderful camera with interchangeable lens to obtain the most pristine photos, but I also understand they can be rather largish and heavier. I also understand that they are more for professionals and there are a lot more manual adjustments available.
I will also be taking the Camera on overseas trips
They are probably not suited for me ( i don't know your thoughts)
What I would like to do is take scenery as well as close up, (which i believe would require changing lenses, I got no probe with that) I would also like to be able to download to media (to my iPad pro so as I can email photos to my family.
I would also like to be able to reduce the size of photos so I can export them across the media and they are not megabytes in size and slowdown the transfer rate.
I have recently been looking at a mirror less cameras (your opinions please) One that has caught my eye is the Canon EOS M5 body which I believe have interchangeable lenses.
Basically what I am saying is I need a very good point and shoot camera that is not to big takes good photos and has wifi and bluetooth so I can transfer to either my Apple lap top or Apple iPad pro then to the media.
Its a bit late in the day for me to go into a big learning curve on how to manually operate a camera to obtain the best possible photo. Don't get me wrong I simply love looking at the most beautiful photos from forum members like Grumpy John etc but my main hobby is woodwork.
I realise I have been babbling on a bit but I need all the help I can get as I need as many facts as possible to make the best decision to suit me and I probably won't get another chance.
Kindest regards to all Forum members and thank you in advance
