Camera Work and Travel?
Hi,
I am on work and travel in New Zealand and Australia for 1 year
want to take super high-resolution and beautiful photos…
is there a
Compact camera, or system camera (or SLR camera)
(This should now deliver better photos – i.e. higher resolution and sharper photos) than, for example, an iPhone 14/15 pro Max – otherwise I'd rather buy one of these…
Is something like this worthwhile? What is there that is so useful
so in the price range
from 500€ to 1000€
Is the difference in quality very noticeable?

I myself – professional photographer – have long been looking for a compact, good camera as a supplement to my heavy professional mirror-reflective block, but have not yet found anything convincing that my (samsung) phone would really put in the shadow. Speaking of Samsung: RAW can only be used if you subscribe to Adobe’s expensive software, which I don’t want…
I don’t think that in the desired price class something can be found that is better than a modern phone.
The question is what you want to use your pictures and what quality is really necessary. Really good image quality is not only expensive, but also heavy (in kg), which can be a disadvantage on travel.
And the fujifilm x100 v – is that good?
High-resolution photos like an iPhone makes almost any camera with 24 megapixels, even if you compare with 48 megapixels of iPhone. And you have the 48MP on iPhone only if you don’t zoom in.
Compact premium cameras or system cameras have a larger sensor, which means better quality and can zoom without loss, i.e. have 24 megapixels even at 3x zoom. However, system cameras are expensive because you still have to scale an objective.
Proposals:
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III from € 529.00 (2024) | Price Comparison Geizhals Germany
Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II from € 629.00 (2024) | Price Comparison Geizhals Germany
Used Canon EOS M200 | MPB + Used Canon EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM | MPB
Used Sony Alpha A6000 | MPB + Used Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS | MPB
In daylight and if you don’t zoom in, the difference isn’t really big. In bad light conditions and zooming you will notice a difference.
I have a Sony PowerShot that I fell in love with because of her appearance and her Zeiss lens – but I am very disappointed by her and do not use her after some attempts.
– despite the very small zoom range, the (RAW) image in the wide-angle range is extremely potent. Of course, this is then corrected by the software, but the quality is then just that of a calculated and not a “real” image.
– the monitor is not movable, a real disadvantage for a seekerless camera in almost all light situations
. the included software for RAW development is unusable, extremely slow and unpractical in handling. Most of them will probably use Adobe’s expensive luxury programs anyway… but for me, Sony is generally out of the race because of this software.
Thank you.
There’s only CyberShot from Sony. PowerShot is from Canon.
Yeah, sorry. Then it’s a cybershot… It lies unused somewhere deep in the box
Hello
Travel set as a supplement to your smartphone
Enlargement
The whole weighs with 58 pole filters, StepUp rings, batteries, charger, accessories by 1kg. The pack size/volume of the disassembled technique corresponds to 9 bag cloth packs, you can pack everything with charger into a waterproof 400 gram storage box.
Attention the Olympus are “feeschmecker” at BLN1 batteries, the post-construction batteries must be bought in double quantities and changed more frequently. Used cameras usually come with 50% residual batteries (New Olympus batteries cost around 50€).
The M5II has a high resolution pixel shift mode and thus generates 40MP JPEG with about 2300LP/BH resolution or 64MP ORF/ORI with 2700LP/BH.
The camera generates higher image qualities than an EOS 5Ds, Nikon D850 or Sony a7RIII in standard mode via 64MP pixel shift behind fixed focal lengths. The resolution race is the optics before
Behind the 9-18, about 90% remain in the center at 40MP JPEG and 65% on the edge, at 64MP ORF/ORI you are at 80% in the center and 55% on the edge. But the 55% on the edge are still 1450LP/BH. This delivers the Canon 10-18 Kit Zoom at a 24MP sensor in the center. What is also said is that the Zuiko 9-18 optics must be squeezed out directly on 16MP in JPEG 1750LP/BH and 1450 LP/BH on the edge. In this respect, the pixel shift only concerns the center area.
Let’s see where the limits of the pixel shift are and why 64MP ORF do not “calculate” with Kit Zooms. Resolution center and edge in LP/BH
The edge drop problem however have all UWW, with the 35/3.5 Macro comes to 4 hidden to almost 100% resolution, the 45/1.8 is relatively soft and you also have to fade to 4 until it becomes homogeneous and then arrives at/over 95%
It is also enough to use a simple chain tripod or single leg in 64MP mode, you have to practice it (tem control) because the rest makes the IBIS. Pixelshift photography is slow but this increases the overall quality as in all art works.
The 9-18 strikes at JPEG wacker but actually it is overwhelmed by the M.Zuiko 8-25/4 has the better basic requirements but costs over 650€

But even without pixel shift, the M5II combination generates up to ISO 400 resolutions in the range of an EOS 5DIII, Sony a7 or Nikon D600 with the respective 16-35/4. Only after ISO 400, the large sensors pull away because of noise.
Thanks for the detailed description – which of the cameras does not require post-processing and nevertheless creates good-looking sharp photos – which can also be seen and it seems as if they had been reworked?
