![]() Not quite as low noise as the D7100 with its 3 times larger APS-C sensor, but much lower noise than for example the D80. Like earlier single-digit G-series models, it’s styled like a mini DSLR, although the organic curves of the previous G6 have been switched for a more angular appearance and there’s changes to the controls I’ll cover in a moment. Persoanlly I'd go for The FZ1000 as it offers a sharp 25-400mm zoom, good iso range, reasonable $ and reasonably low noise levels, which given its 1" sensor is excellent. The Lumix G7 is a mid-sized mirrorless camera with a viewfinder hump above the lens mount. The G7 has a mechanical shutter, and almost all mirrorless ILC cameras will have a mechanical shutter. You can do this by going in the Camera Settings, selecting Advanced, and toggling the enable timelapse for astrophotography option to blue. Dont listen to the guy that said mirrorless cameras dont have a shutter. if you want more in terms of focal length, but want to keep weight down and the cost more reasonable, then go for a smaller overall and almost (but not quite) as low noise as your D7100, one of the better bridge cameras, such as the Panasonic FZ1000 (the newer FZ2000 doesn't add much except $) or the Sony DSC RX10 MkI, MkII or MkIII. Most cameras are rated for over 100,000 shutter actuations. any of the good Interchangeable mirrorless cameras, with APS-C or micro4/3 sensors (for example: Sony A6000, A6300, A6500, Fuji XT2, Panasonic G7, G8.) with shorter focal length lenses, otherwise weight will becomes the same concern as it was with your larger DSLR). When you say that there were challenges using a large DSLR on the SkyTracker mount, did this relate to poor tracking, possibly due to higher/excessive load? If so, and you need a lighter, low noise, but not necessarily smaller camera, then I'd recommend:ġ. Having a look it seems that you use/have used a Nikon D7100. (Yes I know some may suggest that a smaller camera doesn't always mean smaller sensor and to look at the Sony A6000/6300/6500, but by the time one adds appropriate lenses for astro, they are not the featherweights or small anymore) ![]() It is capable of recording what’s invisible to the human eye. Any choice depends on what compromises you are prepared to make for size, portability and suitability to your mount versus increased noise going to smaller camera, which will typically have a smaller sensor, with its inherently higher noise. Astrophotography time-lapses are a spectacular form of videography.
