My lad is going to be working for the VSO in March, in Bolivia. As it's likeley to be an experience of a lifetime he wants a better camera than his smartphone.
What sort of budget would give give hime better IQ than a small sensor compact... max budget of maybe £300.
I was wondering about a used RX100, but am a bit concerned about their ruggedness. It might be dry/dusty or wet n miserable where he's going.
Size might be important too, as he might not be able to take much with him other than a rucksack.
So... maybe an M4/3 with a travel zoom, ditto an entry level DSLR with a similar zoom.
I have a Fuji bridge camera, but I don't rate the image quality that highly.
Any suggestions...?
