I am moving back to Japan in a few months and was trying to avoid having to buy a DSLR. Planning on doing lots of video interviews, still portraits, and landscapes of Tokyo. Strictly a hobby--I just don't want to lug around heavy gear and a ton of lenses (space is very much at a premium).
Is there a premium compact that provides the following?
- Interchangeable lenses (i'd prefer to buy a single, high quality 35mm or 50mm and just use that)
- Flip-around screen so I can frame video shots from in front of the camera
- External mic input so I can connect a better quality mic for interviews
I've looked at:
- Sony a6000/a6300 (no flipping screen)
- Fuji X70 (no mic input)
- Fuji X100T (no flipping screen [the remote app is nice, but requires wifi to let your phone frame the shot which I may not always have])
- Nikon V3 (picture left--has a ton of shit reviews about the image quality)
- Canon G7 (no interchangeable lenses)
Is there anything else I should look at or is a DSLR (e.g. GH4, Canon 80D, Nikon D5500) going to be the only way to get these features?
thanks in advance
