Alaska cruise surprise - what people are shooting with...
7

I just came back from Alaska cruise.

No pictures yet - it will take a few days to sort through several hundreds of photos.

Will definitely post when ready.

So, no surprise that most are shooting with their phones, and some - with iPads and other tablets.

There were very few with P&S cameras. Several  - with bridge / superzoom cameras.

Plenty with Canon and Nikon DSLRs, but mostly APS-C with kit lenses. One guy with Canon FF and 100-300 L zoom.

One gentleman was shooting with Fujifilm mirrorless and their 100-400 lens, mounted on a monopode. The lens looks MUCH larger comparing to Leica 100-400.

There were several Micro 4/3 shooters, with both Panasonic and Olympus bodies, and kit lenses.

But the biggest surprise, for me, was the fact that on-board "professionals" were using Lumix GH4. When I inquired about the camera choice, the guy replied that some guests ask for video, and Micro 4/3 are the best for that:
