Hi guys,
I was thinking about selling my whole DSLR gear and to use that money to buy a decent compact camera.
The reason for this is portability. I am a passionate MTB'er (as seen in an older post of mine in March) and really want to capture the beautiful landscape and scenery when I ride. I cannot do it with my current gear and my phone does not take great pictures. Also, I love to take in RAW and edit the photos when I get back home. I mainly like to capture landscape shots because I am an outdoor person and love the nature.
Okay, I know I can get a GoPro 5 but I rather buy a compact camera. So I browsed through my local camera store (ORMS) and saw this:
Fujifilm X70 (the silver one, looks amazing!)
ORMS does offer a trade-in program, so I would contact them to see if I can trade my current gear for the X70.
BUT... Before I do all this. Is this a wise move? I want to become a journalism, more specific a writer/photographer for a bicycle magazine. So I want to combine journalism with photography and cycling. Or should I rather keep my current gear?
Would appreciate your guys' input/opinion.
Thanks.
