Reddit mentions of Fujinon XF35mmF2 R WR - Black

• Fujifilm X-T2 with 18-55mm for ~1000
  
• X-T1 and 35mmF2 / 50mmF2 or a 23mmF2 (comparable to field of view of 35mm on full frame) for ~750
  
• Replace X-T1 with X-T20 if you drop weatherproof requirement.

Full frame is going to give you the best low light performance for sure (the 6D is a solid choice, as will the Nikon D610 and Sony A7-series cameras).

That being said, light and small with average sensor size you'd do well to look at some of the modern APS-C offerings that Fuji and Sony have. Fuji has some crazy nice glass for their lenses, some of which is pretty affordable. You could pick up an X-T1 for ~$900 and 35mm f1.4 for ~$450 (or 35mm f2 WR for $300) for a solid start, then save up for a longer zoom lens in the future like their 50-140mm f2.8 OIS WR. Of course, there's also 3rd party options like Sigma making lenses for the X-mount too. And finally, this is all assuming you're buying brand new, you can save a good deal of money going the used route.

First of all I'm going to start by saying that these cameras have different sensor sizes, namely APS-C, Micro Four Thirds and 1inch sizes. There are advantages and disadvantages to either ones but In general these are the main characteristics:

APS-C sensors - medium to large-sized lenses, slightly long minimal focusing distance (around 0.5m with a normal focal range lens), shallower depth-of-field (more blurred backgrounds in pictures)

Micro Four Thirds sensors - small sized lenses, very short minimal focusing distances (20/30cm with normal focal range lenses), more depth-of-field than ASP-C (less blurred backgrounds in pictures)

(I'll talk about the 1inch sensor further below)

There are other differences that vary on a camera by camera basis but those are the most important things for you to keep in mind. I will mention for each of the examples you gave the sensor size and some of the characteristics of each camera system as briefly as I can.

.

> Canon EOS 700D 18MP Digital SLR Camera (Twin IS Lens Kit) 18-55mm STM & 55-250mm STM Twin Lens K $849

APS-C sensor cameras - both of them will offer relatively similar performance. The 700D deal with two lenses is a nice one, but it's only useful if you like to shoot telephoto pictures (pictures of things that are very far away from you). I would prefer to get the 750 because the sensor is slightly better and it has wireless, so it is a bit more future-proof and better performing. For the price difference between the 750D and the 700D you could buy one of the many budget lenses for the system that offer surprisingly good results. I recommend the Canon 50mm f1.8 which will give you very beautiful results with shallow depth of field: https://www.amazon.com/Canon-50mm-1-8-STM-Lens/dp/B00X8MRBCW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469622115&sr=8-1&keywords=canon+50mm+f1.8

Olympus OM-D E-M10 MKII Compact System Camera with 14-42mm EZ Lens 764

Micro Four Thirds - a very small but well-performing camera that is just an all-round good package. It has better image stabilization than the Canon built into the body. What that means is that for most situations you practically don't need a tripod. If you want a camera that is capable of giving you very good image quality but still be small and compact enough to carry around without much hassle, this is a good option. Most of the lens options aren't as cheap as the ones for the Canon systems, however Sigma makes a few lenses that are very affordable and high quality so I recommend checking those out if you are on a tight budget.

APS-C sensor camera - Yes you will need to buy a lens for it. Fuji cameras tend to be slightly more expensive than other cameras that compete with theirs but in terms of "raw" specifications they fall behind in some aspects. Video recording on most Fuji cameras is very poor. Even so, people that shoot phtoos with Fuji cameras love it because they usually have great ways to operate the camera that make them very enjoyable to use and most importantly, I'd argue that they offer the best images out of all APS-C cameras without tweaking them. In the long-run I think Fuji would be the most expensive choice but it would also deliver the most pleasant results. If you want a lens recommendation to start off with I suggest the Fuji 35mm f2.0 https://www.amazon.com/Fujinon-XF35mmF2-R-WR-Black/dp/B016S28I4S/ref=sr_1_33?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1469622522&sr=1-33&keywords=fujifilm+x+lenses . Although Fuji is expensive, it is the camera system I mostly appreciate at the moment, and the one I'd like to own in the future due to its lens selection which offers a lot of very high quality glass and the absolutely gorgeous image quality. Another note is that Fuji's lenses tend to be some of the smallest ones in APS-C lens systems.


Sony Cybershop RX100 or RX100 II? (599 vs 795) -

1inch sensor (the smallest, meaning more depth of field) - these cameras are very compact and actually small enough to be pocketable but they are also the most limited in terms of performance, particularly low light. When I compared an RX100 to my Olympus which has the same sensor as the E-M10 camera you linked, it didn't perform as well in low light both in terms of focusing speed and image quality but in outdoors with decent lighting you can get really excellent results. In my opinion the RX100 is the perfect "secondary camera" if you own an APS-C camera but don't always want to carry around with you, but if you end up going with a Micro Four Thirds camera you don't have as big of a need for a secondary smaller camera.

I hope this is helpful to you, I know it's a long post but I tried to make it as short as I could without entering into small minutia. Let me know if you have any further questions.

http://www.fujirumors.com/ is the best site to watch for Fuji deals, they post daily or more. also /r/fujix

No Black Friday deals posted yet, but there's been a sale going for a few days now (especially the 35mm f2 WR for $299 which is a great deal).

Since ReverserMover covered the Sony, I'll just hit on the Fuji lenses here.

​

The kit 18-55mm f/2.8-4 is actually a pretty good lens, far better than other kit lenses I've seen. It's sharpness is on par with some Nikon primes I've used (admittedly the cheaper primes, not the top end ones). So if nothing else, that would be a good one.

The 35mm f/2 and 23mm f/2 are both great lenses that aren't too expensive, although for a bit more money there are wider apertures for those focal lengths. The 56mm f/1.2 is another great lens, and the wide aperture is a huge plus doing any portraits in lower light.

The 90mm f/2 is a good lens with a bit more reach if you need a longer focal length, but if you're just shooting casually then the 50-230mm f/4.5-6.7 will cover a good range. The downside being the smaller max aperture, so the lens isn't the best for anything low-light.

​

If you just want something cheap to mess around with, 7artisians and Neewer have a handful in the sub-$100 range. These aren't the sharpest lenses, they're full manual only (including focus), but they are cheap and can be fun to shoot.

u/villadejer - for less than price of a $2799.97CAD A7 III with the kit lens, you can get a 539 gram Fuji X-T3 for $1899.99CAD, a 170 gram Fuji XF35mm f/2 lens for $449CAD plus a Feiyutech G6 plus gimbal with an 800 gram payload capacity for $349CAD.

This setup will give you 4K/60p image quality like this.

And the FeiyuTech gimbal can handle the weight. Here it is carrying the 715 gram Panasonic G85/12-60 kit lens combination (heavier than the X-T3 with the XF35mm f/2 lens).

Here it is carrying the 383 gram Fuji X-T20 with a 187 gram Fuji XF35mm f/1.4 lens.

Again, hope this is helpful!
