Iceland What Camera

[Thepominlaw]

Going to Iceland in July, not really booking many excursions except the Golden Circle, don’t want to be lumbered with a heavy camera but want to record our trip (photo not video).

 

Own three cameras all Panasonic G9, GX8 and GX80, thinking the 8 due to its weather sealing plus the panny leica 12-60. Also considering buying TZ200, what would you suggest/choose.

I am not familiar with your camera models but for reference, the images from the Iceland part of our 2019 Ireland/Iceland trip were shot with the 24mm-105mm zoom a bit over 90% of the time.

 

Lots of big scenery.

Thanks my 12-60 is equivalent to 24-120mm @35mm so sound’s idea

I like having a nice viewfinder - that would argue toward accepting the bulk of the G9 body [and getting the dual card slots and bigger battery]

Thanks all, decided to take the G9 and my Ricoh GRii so i have something smaller i can keep in my pocket.

That's a great take
