What do you use for fun?

[monicasigmon]

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!

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.

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.

I hear ya. I've been that way for a long time. But these little Sony's are awesome so now I'm just trying to figure out which one to use when!

Ok, good to know! I have the compact #FE 40mm F2.5 G and I just bought the compact #FE 24mm F2.8 G ... I'm excited to use them next week! Do you use your a7c for video also?

I keep thinking about picking up an a7C, I sometimes bring the big stuff. Sometimes I just bring my RX100VI

#RX100 VI

I am still a fan of my old school RX 1RII. I love that camera! I need to look into the a7c!

a7C also!  I love it for travel and for packing small.  It's the best for street photography!  That and the 24/40mm compact primes make me happy 🙂

My trusty #RX100 III is always in my bag, and my #Xperia 1 II in my pocket - so already ready for something.

Gotta agree with @CarolineJensen on the RX-1 cameras - just a ton of fun to shoot with:

But... here's one you won't expect 🙂 The #RX0 and #RX0 II are more fun than a kitten! Candid portrait with RX0 - not a problem!

Those are the two primes I bought!

Thanks so much for sharing!! I definitely need to break out my RX0ii more!

No I haven't used the Sony a7c for video yet, I will give it a try at some point. I know it is a favorite camera of Bob Kirst for video.

[DonSmith]

For me, it is the Sony RX100VI

And now I have finally ordered the a7C too!

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 🙂
