I'm thinking about a small system used as a walk about. By that I mean car shows, family gatherings, trips to amusement parks & museums.
For me it's all about small size, and the SL2 interests me. Normally I'm a zoom type of guy, but to keep the package small I'm considering a prime. I've been reading another thread about primes, and the 35mm f2 IS USM gets good recommendations. And it's fairly small. One of my favorite museums has subdued lighting, so f2 and IS would be a benefit.
Any thoughts about this camera/lens combo? It would cost a little more than $1k. I'm sure there will be times when I need a longer FL lens. But the SL2's sensor would allow for a lot of cropping if needed.
Also on my radar are other cameras: Panasonic ZS200, Sony RX100 series, or micro 4/3. But I believe the Canon setup would provide the best IQ.
How say you?
