![]() After reading countless reviews online, I narrowed it down to the Sony a6000 or Sony a7R. After looking at smaller crop-sensor DSLRs, point-and-shoots, and mirror-less options, I knew that I wanted the flexibility of an interchangeable lens system, manual options, and a large sensor. The main candidates were the Olympus OM-D E-M1, the Fuji Film X-T1, the Sony a7R, Panasonic Lumix GM1, and Sony a6000. It was here I began my search for the perfect balance of weight, cost, and image quality. The pictures were fine for Instagram and thumbnails online, but anything larger than 5×7 prints just came out terrible. My first attempt to go ultra-light failed pretty badly when I tried to shoot exclusively with my iPhone. You can’t recreate a sunset or simulate the spontaneous movement of wildlife. Photography was different though, for most trips there is no going back. Clothing, food, warmth, and comfort were all easy to sacrifice, as I knew I’d have them at home as soon as I returned from my trip. Moving away from a heavy DSLR was the toughest transition for me as I began to adopt a more lightweight backpacking gear list.
