>>2792356>and the canon sx70 seems reasonable at 650, just a little bulky and I wonder if I can't find something a bit more compact, or if i need that bulk.yeah, im just making a recommendation based off of cheap and accessible.
You could always go cheaper but then you start sacraficing quality. Recently went on a long 4 hour walk through a park with a massive dslr camera a couple weeks ago.
i post on /p/ i was exhausted by the time i finished.
If you're OP, i recommend the sx70 because it's smaller than a dslr but bigger than a cheapo.
If you also just take landscapes you can just keep it in your pack until you wanna take a photo
it also has good video quality, a decent sensor 1000mm zoom, good color and differing modes. if you are inexperienced i recommend p mode before learning other modes IIRC p mode does both raw and jpg
