Hi All:
A very good friend of mine asked for an [urgent] advice on photo cameras. A portion of that includes a recommendation for non-SLR (aka mirrorless) digital cameras with changeable lenses for an enthusiast at early stages. The camera is to be small (mobile, take-anywhere), easy to use in both automatic and semi-automatic/manual modes, able to handle reasonably low light, and not to have long shutter lag. Most frequent use: shooting while travelling (landscapes, urban views), shooting people/friends non-very-intrusively. It would be a step-up alternative to something like Lumix LX-7 or Samsung ex2f that allows interchangeable lenses (for growing needs). The question is not about fancy Leica cameras or X100, or rather, it is about mid-level cameras (with a budget of within $1K or less for the body and one-two lenses). I haven't been following this segment of the market as closely. I think that some of the Panasonic/Olympus/..? micro-4/3 cameras fall into this category, Nikon 1, etc. I am not sure if K-01 or Q10 would be reasonable here, - they seem to me too much of a "specialty", and not as "mainstream" cameras... I'd appreciate if you can mention a few models that you'd recommend. If you can point out the strong points of the model, - that would also be great.
