I'm looking for a few things in a camera:
1) crisp photos with good color
2) excellent low light performance
3) fast shutter speed with decent fps rate
4) compact (micro four thirds size or around there)
5) possibly looking for interchangeable lenses but not sure
6) easily accessible manual controls
I'm not a pro, I am a graphic designer by trade and have had photography classes in the past so I'm familiar with general pro camera terms.
I am looking for a camera to document my road trips and life in general. I'd like something that fits the list above. While I don't want to make a living off photography, I want a respectable camera for what my money can get. I don't want to drop a lot so looking for $800 or less.
My friend who is a professional photographer recommended the DMC-LX5. He also mentioned the DMC-x10.
From my own research I was considering the:
Panasonic DMC-GX1
Canon T3i
Nikon D3100
Sony A35
Sony NEX-5n
Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
