I’ve looked through the forums and couldn’t find anything that would help specifically but there are a lot of photographers on this board so I thought I might create a new thread (my first) and pray it isn’t a FATA.

So here goes..

I’ll be leaving for a trip to New Zealand in a few months and I want to get a Digital Camera. Some of my friends have DSLRs and I love using them for taking pictures but I’m afraid I would find carrying around a DSLR a bit cumbersom. I also don’t want a small camera that emphasizes portability over quality but, as a friend suggested; “…you’ll carry a smaller camera around with you more often and thus, more pictures.”

Is there such a thing as a smaller DSLR or some kind of happy medium?

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Price range – up to $1000
