KrankyKraut Mostly Lurking More info Post edited over 8 years ago by KrankyKraut. (2 edits in all) | Feb 13, 2015 14:05 | #3 I would definitely go with an APS-C sensor based camera. I looked at thousands of pictures on the 'Net before making my decision. I chose the Samsung NX3000 for my wife. That's based on low weight (very important for her) and picture quality. To my eye, the colors and resolution from Samsung's 20.3 MP sensor look better than Sony's or Fuji's, for that matter. Samsung's lenses are of top quality and competitively priced.

It's autofocus can keep up with a Canon 5DM3 that costs 10xs more. Decent high ISO as well, nice ergonomics. My sister got one and she loves it. This. I purchased mine awhile ago, took it on vacation and it saw more usage than my 5D3. No regrets.
