>>1831488>I prefer the Sony's photos to the Panasonic, based on the best images I've seen from both camerasAll good mate, each to their own, I’m far from loyal to any brand. I’ve got a few cameras, Sony, Canon, Panasonic and take one out depending on sports/landscape/compact/waterproof/compromise. At the end of the day, try to demo a couple and just get what you prefer.
Try to make sure it has manual/priority modes though. Aperture and Speed priority with manual iso are all you really need in most situations. Plus a polarising filter and variable ND filter for lush waterfalls. I mainly use my compact for portability, but I do like to have my toys.
