What camera to buy for backpacking?
I'm leaving soon to backpack for 6-12 months, SEA/NZ trekking, beaches, nightlife, etc.
I'm really torn about choosing a Camera, I've been borrowing my friend's Canon 6D for photography, and love it, bit it's too big for my daypack, and cumbersome when trekking.
Any advice for what camera to take with me? Have heard recs for canon g7x, canon r50, sony a6400 and fujifilms, as well as some told me to just upgrade my phone and not carry a Camera.
Any advice from travel photographers? Durability/weight and size are the main issues, ideally not over 1,000 USD.
Thanks!
