    1 micro four thirds body, 1 high quality prime. Limitation breeds creativity.

    Small light kit to carry, reasonable prices on the secondhand market so less fear of loosing a couple of thousand pounds worth of gear if it gets snatched, but still gives you the control so it’s more fun than using your phone all the time.

      It’s mostly the tripod that’s killing me. I’m really into long exposure and timelapse stuff.

        A bit newer than the budget options but the newest OM System cameras claim 6 stops of IBIS and even more if you use a Olympus lens that supports sync IS. As long as you’re not talking crazy long you may be able to do more than you think handheld.
