CSC Camera Recommendations?

mohawk · 4 Jun 2017 at 16:49

I am looking at getting myself a new camera as i am fed up of using my Phone and would like to take some nice pictures.

I dont want a cheap point and click and also dont want something as big as a dslr so CSC seems to be the best choice that i can see.

I have narrowed it down to 3 choices.

1) Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II Compact System Camera - Link

2) Fuji XT10 - Link

3) Sony ILCE6000LS Compact System Camera - Link

Out of these 3 which would people reccomend? or is there another one i should be looking at?

Thanks

You can pick up a second hand X-T1 for £300 so should imagine an X-T10 would be even cheaper, then spend what you save towards some decent glass

I'd personally recommend m43 out of this lot simply because of the larger and cheaper lens system available. However, have you considered 2nd hand? You can get a 2nd hand e-m5 ii for less than that EM10 - there are ones in good condition on mp-b for £509, or a used e-m10 II for £334. Pair that E-M10 with an oly 12-50, and you've got a better lens for the same price as the new one from amazon

The advantage of m43 is the body and lens sizes. I sold my DSLR and went A6000, never looked back and don't miss my old kit.

Definitely consider used. You lose so much money buying new and gain very little. Better to spend the difference on lenses.

Seen as I'm having one delivered tomorrow I guess I'm obliged to say the XT-10!

This. If ou actually want small lenses and camera, but a large selection of lenses and a mature platform look no further.

I would recommend MPB all day to pickup a second hand body and / or lenses. Used them several times, last purchase was a E-M5ii body and 12-40pro for missus and a 60mm macro lens for me. All were as described and saved a fortune on new prices.
