thumbun Posted June 16 #1 Share Posted June 16 Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but I could not find anything on a search. Taking an Antarctica/Falklands/South Georgia expedition cruise in January 2025. I have a Sony a6000 camera with an interchangable telephoto lens. My concern is that when we are out on the ice or in Kayaks it is rather bulky and will be a pit of a pain to switch lenses. Can anyone recommend a good camera for outdoor nature photography that has a good Zoom feature and that may be on the smaller side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbnovak Posted June 17 #2 Share Posted June 17 I have a Sony RX100VII that I absolutely love when a small, pocketable camera is appropriate. It has a 24-200 lens, and has been unofficially dubbed the "A9 Mini." https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Premium-Compact-1-0-type-DSCRX100M7/dp/B07VPQV7BY?th=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pengu1n Posted July 10 #3 Share Posted July 10 I too would recommend the Sony RX100 VII for the zoom. It's not water or weatherproof though. For bad weather, I take out my Olympus TG5 (now on version 7) but it only has a 4x zoom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hezu Posted July 11 #4 Share Posted July 11 I think Sony RX10 IV is also worth a mention, certainly bigger than the pocket cameras like RX100 series, but still that superzoom with 24-600 mm equivalent lens is easier to wield than any ILC with long telephoto. And the zoom range covers also the wide angle. 20 Mpix type 1 sensor may not be the best for low light usage, but in daylight it should deliver good image quality.
