Hi Everybody,
I have a Nikon D5100 with 2 lenses, the nikkor 50mm 1.8 and the nikkor 35mm 1.8. i going for a trip to north america and i need to be as light wight as possible with camera gear, preferably with 1 all around lens...my questions are :
1. should i get a kit lens that will cover the wide and telephoto range?, something like the :
[h=2]Nikon AF-S DX VR II Zoom-Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED[/h][h=2]Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR[/h][h=2]Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD For Nikon
2. should i buy a super zoom bridge camera with the compromise of shooting in lower light? but with a versatility of 28-800mm zoom range and good enough image quality in day light conditions? - maybe the lens on the bridge camera will be actually better then the kit lenses?, though even then i guess the quality will be much better on the D5100 because of the sensor..., i thought about the[/h][h=2]Sony Cybershot DSC HX200V[/h][h=2]what do you think?
3. should i stay with my 35mm 1.8G on my D5100 for everything except zoom, and for zoom take my compact Canon Powershot sx130is which is small enough to put in a bag with no problem, with a zoom range of about 28-330mm? (this is the cheapest option, but it might work for daylight general use, although the question is, will i take out both cameras as often as when i use one camera?[/h]As you can see i'm a bit confused about all of this, and as much as i want, i can't see myself going around everywhere with 3 lens all the trip...any help with be much appreciated!, and btw - i'm new to the forum, nice to meet you! , and thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Standing Bear.
