Default Help Choosing Compact

savantcreative wrote:

I shoot commercially with the 1DS Mark II and love it. I shoot
everything raw. The problem is that I have 4 kids and never want to
bring my rig w"flash bracket along because I am usually carrying
someone or something heavy. I need to buy a compact yet high quality
camera. Can anyone suggest anything?


Flash is very useful for freezing action of active children indoors
while getting enough light to get a good depth of field. So why not
invest in a powerful remotely triggered flash you can simply stand in
a corner and bounce off the ceiling? It would be handy if the camera
in hand had a built in flash you could use dialled down in power as a
fill in. That could optically trigger the big one.
