monicasigmon Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I just purchased the #Alpha 7C (a7C) to keep on me for "fun" when we're traveling. So far, it's great. Here's what I'm wondering...while I don’t love carrying around the bigger bodies when I'm in a city someplace (Like NYC next week, for example), I DO love the weight in my hand as I'm shooting and I still use the viewfinder much more than the LCD. With the A7c, I'm being intentional about using the LCD and thinking of it like what I'm used to using a cell phone. Oh, and I also have the nifty #ZV-1 that I totally underutilize! How do you guys like to travel for fun? Do you bring the "big guns" or do you take advantage of the small Sony powerhouses? I'm always panicking as I pack at the last minute and would love to hear your thoughts! Products Used Alpha 7C (a7C)Cameras ZV-1Cameras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcox Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 If I'm not on assignment the work gear stays at home. While traveling for fun or on vacation my iPhone is the only camera I'll have with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IraBlock Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I too use the Sony a7c for my everyday walk around camera. I also use the compact lenses with it, i really like the 40mm. it seems to work for me when traversing New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these little Sony's are awesome so now I'm just trying to figure out which one to use when! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martlindner Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I shoot most of my content when traveling abroad for a few weeks and that’s when I usually bring the full bagpack with all the options. back home I would only bring 1 lens 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
