    Oh, yeah, forgot to mention. I'm getting an Olympus camera, so it's a micro four thirds. So the focal length charts I see online, do they relate to full-frame focal lengths? So any focal length on a M43, I'll have to multiply by 2 since M43 has a 2x crop factor, right? Based on my searches thus...

    Thanks a lot to everyone who's contributed thus far. I've learnt so much already. I am in the process of firming up my purchases right now. I'll update again once it's all done. I just have one last question regarding landscape photography and timelapses (specifically night shots, since day...

    Ah, got it. It's good to know that I don't have to get so hung up over shutter count. The camera budget was just arbitrarily set by me, to avoid spending too much on my first camera. The travel itinerary is more or less set right now. Haha. The A6000 comes with a kit lens of 16-50mm f/3.5 -...

    Yeah, for the Northern Lights one, I'm definitely getting a tripod for it. I've YouTubed the Exposure Triangle thing, and am also watching videos on focal length, apertures and ISOs to try and learn as much as I can. I have a couple more questions. I read that most cameras can last upwards of...

I'll also planning to spend a week in Iceland to catch the Northern Lights, during my Europe trip, which was why I'm leaning more towards the whole weather sealing thing. Thanks for the link. I'll definitely...

    I have one question, guys. Is weather sealing important? My camera is mostly going to be used for travel; just that, in December, I'll probably be spending 2-3 weeks in Western Europe, so is snow going to be a problem if a camera isn't weather sealed? The reason for this is because the Olympus...

    Can I get thoughts on the GX80/85? I see one on Amazon going for a bit over 500, brand new, here, bundled with two lenses.

    Thanks for the detailed response. I get what you mean. With that, I'm currently eyeing the Olympus E-M5 II, Sony A6000/6300 and Canon M50. Any thoughts on these 3? These few are the ones that are more commonly recommended as a decent budget mirrorless. Will gladly welcome any more...

    Hi guys. I'm planning to get a proper camera since I'm starting to do a fair bit of travelling, and wish to document (95% pictures, 5% videos, ideally) as much of it as possible. I've been doing some intensive reading and searching these past few hours, and have a couple questions. I'm...
