Sony NEX-5: The Perfect Travel Camera


Looking Out Over Paris, originally uploaded by Craig Damlo.

I’m not a professional photographer, but, like many, I am a dedicated amateur. Like most dedicated amateurs out there, I have a full-time career that helps support my photography habit. Luckily for me, I have the advantage in my everyday career to travel, both domestically and internationally. I don’t always have the space or weight to bring along my full DSLR and lenses with me on business trips.
I have heard time and time again that the best way to improve your photography is by shooting more. The number one way to take more pictures is to always carry your camera with you. While most phones today can take pictures, camera phones do not have the option to control the more technical aspects of your photography, which leaves three other options: 1) A point-and-shoot pocket camera; 2) Carry your DSLR camera everywhere you go; or 3) an electronic view interchangeable lens (EVIIL) camera.
