Just curious as to what everyone uses as a 'hunting' camera. I have a DSLR that I love, and would bring it along on my hunts but I have too much invested in it to risk it getting damaged. And it would take up more space than I can handle.
I have a smaller Canon Powershot I've been using, but I'm not real thrilled with it's pictures. Don't get me wrong, it takes great photos...when there is plenty of light. But it doesn't do very well, even in light I believe should be good enough to get decent photos. I know with full zoom type photos I'll never win without perfect lighting, but just looking for something to get some zoom without it being all grainy from higher ISOs.
I'm not a professional or expert by any means, but I do understand the different factors that influence the photos.
My prelim list includes the Sony Rx100 or Olympus TG-4. My only concern on the Sony is the lack of a decent zoom and being fragile, but I could deal with the latter. Seems like an awesome camera otherwise. The TG-4 looks really solid, but I'm concerned about the pictures and that it wouldn't really even be an upgrade.
Any thoughts, opinions, or experiences with these or other cameras?
