Start off I only know a beginners level of xp on real cameras so pardon the noobness.
I am looking to be able to take macro shot of the new aquarium.
In the 5mp era I had a Canon Powershot. One of the mega zoom cameras. Actually got decent at stroking what I could out of that camera. However as time progressed I eventually sold that camera and went back to smart phones.
The big draw back to me for the mega zoom and what I would assume would only be worse with a DSLR was the size and weight.
Not that I cared when I was taking tank shots but good cameras are not cheap and when I was out in the world I just never took the Canon with me. A camera in the closet never takes good pictures.
Technology progressed and a new contender arrived. I have been looking at mirrorless cameras (specifically Sony). I am liking the smaller size of the 6000 series. Throw a short lense on it and it borders on pocketable.
Trying to get the best of both worlds. Not having to drag around a boat anchor for everyday point and shoot. Then still being able to swap lenses and take a decent close up.
Is this possible? Are there drawbacka I am unaware of?
