My wife and daughter are going to Rome for 8 days in Dec. I have narrowed down the choices for a travel camera to the following:
1. Olympus Stylus 1-least $, most compact, assuming easy to shoot decent images.
2. Panasonic FZ1000-more $, DSLR sized (for the most part), very good image quality
3. DSLR w/18-250 or equivalent-depending on body and lens, not much more than FZ1000, not much bigger, and assuming better image quality.
Right now I am leaning towards a Pentax K50 with Pentax 18-250 lens, OR spending a little more for a Nikon D5300 and a Tamron 16-300 lens. Some examples of camera cost:
Pentax K50 with 18-135 WR lens $680
Pentax K50 with Pentax 18-270 $950
Nikon D5300 with 18-140 lens $775
Nikon D5300 with 16-300 Tamron lens $1050
Obviously if I get a DSLR and lens, it will give me the opportunity to try to grow my photography IQ. Any constructive advice is appreciated.
