I went through a lot of thinking what to get as my 3rdcamera. My main camera are the latest Canon 5D, whether it is the 5D4 now or the 5D3 before or the 5D2 before that. I always have 2 of them, then when I upgrade I would sell one and keep one as the 3rdcamera. In the last 2 upgrades, almost 8 years, the 3rdcamera has always sat in the bag because it is the last gen and it was just there depreciating and not being used. So this time I thought I’d do something different and get something smaller. I still have the back up of having 2 bodies, and when pushed come to shove, I still have the Fuji if I want to shoot 2 camera set up. (That said, I think I will still get a Sony A7R2 when the price drops as a true Canon system back up).
So with that said, what do I get as a travel camera? I didn’t want to go too crazy, it will be a pure natural light camera. Originally of course I wanted a Sony A7R2, but the price is still prohibitive. For that kind of money, I might as well get a 3rd 5D4.
The whole Fuji set up cost me £700. A quarter of what it would have been if I get a Sony A7R2 body, or half of a X-Pro 2 or X-T2 body. Now that I know they can get so cheap, it will what I get in a few years. Plus I get to try something different.
Ps I did think about getting a cheaper hood but the cheaper one are screw mount which sticks out more.
