>>4029109>TG-6 allow for room for me to grow as a photographerNo. And I wouldnt recommend it if you want to learn. Olympus and Panasonic are the kings of /out/, but their micro four thirds offerings are where the real cameras begin. Really tough, weather sealed and rugged units but there are drawbacks to using smaller m43 sensors, like low light performance if youre hoping to capture nightscapes, but judging by the fact you're considering a TG6, an M43 is a big step up in performance compared to that.
Im in australia, so my prices might be a little different, but you can find an EM10 MKIV bundled with the 14-150mm for 1300 here all day long, which is about $1k usd or so. That would be great for getting out because that zoom is super versatile, super wide for landscapes and telephoto for some wildlife. Great lens to learn on because you will be able to experiment with lots of different genres. One big caveat. It's not a weather sealed camera. But the thing about that is, the lensi s weathersealed which is the most comment point of entry into a camera. It should be fine so long as you dont take it out into rain or drop it in puddles. Olympus weathersealing is like military grade shit. Its not just a marketing thing. If you need it, its worth it. You can take a weathersealed olympus out in a literal hurricane. If that appeals to you, it's about 300 bucks more for the same combo with the completely weather sealed EM5. That lens is weathersealed too so youre good to go.
Check out pic related and do some research on prices where you are. There's also the Lumix G9 to consider and of course used options.
Stop by the /mft/ thread whenever we get around to making it again and say hello.
