Re: Travel camera
Can't really speak much to the A6000. Because of the reported CAF of the A6000 I have looked at it a bit since continuous AF is a weak point of the Olys. But when I look at the available lenses... The EVF in the E-M5 is very good. The EVF in the M10 is at least as good. IMO, the $400 E-PM2 kit is one of the very best deals available right now. Basically the same sensor and IQ as the E-M5. In comparison to the E-M5 or E-M10 you won't get an EVF and you won't have dual control dials, so you'll have to do more stuff through the Super Control Panel and/or menus. Also, the 2 axis IBIS is not as good as that in the E-M10 or E-M5, but that won't hurt you in good light and if you work a lot from a tripod it's moot. The PM2 would get you into the system with room to add a lens. And I'm of the opinion that lenses really make a difference. I had the 12-50 kit lens and, while I may have had a poor copy, it just didn't compare to any of the primes or to lenses like the 12-40 or 12-35. So I think adding a lens like the Oly 25 f/1.8 or 17 f/1.8 or Panny 20 f/1.7 would be a real nice addition to any kit. Others have mentioned the new Panny (I don't recall the model name) and I think that's worth a careful look too. The new 12-32 kit lens for that is reputed to be very good and the camera seems to be getting very good reviews. With either the new Panny or the PM2 you won't get the external buttons and dials that you'd get on the E-M5 or E-M10, but you would get even smaller bodies and essentially the same IQ.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
