Afternoon everyone,

I'm currently looking at getting a new camera to get back in to it. At home I have a Nikon D90 with the kit lens, 50mm f/1.8, 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 plus a flash and quite a few other bits. The main problem that I have with it is that it's all so chunky and hefty.

Based on that and me soon going to SE Asia with as little stuff as possible I'm probably going to sell it all and go mirrorless.

My main thought is to go with a Pansonic Lumix G7 as above. I'm also planning on only taking the camera and two lenses, no flash, again to keep costs and weight down.

The Sony A6000 is also a strong contender but it has less of that SLR feel but does have a higher res and bigger sensor.

The main use will be for photos, I have never really done much in the way of video.

Both can be had for around £300 second hand with a kit lens.

I think the main issue will be lens prices, with the Sony being more expensive.

I'm very stuck between the two right now!

Thanks in advance :D

Thanks for that. I think my main issue is my budget but I do have a few bits of gear to sell so I might just have to go from there.

I went.in to Jessops yesterday and someone recommended th Canon M50 which is usually £600 with a kit lens but they currently have this offer on for £619.
