Being a landscape/cityscape photographer that typically will be either climbing up a mountain or fell, walking miles around a city, or along long hiking trails, my photographic equipment is a constant balance between image quality and weight. For this reason I use a Panasonic Lumix cameras for my landscape photography,

My main camera is a Lumix S5II with its superb 24 megapixel back side illuminated full frame size sensor. The S5II gives me all the resolution and detail that I need from its wonderful sensor, but if I ever feel I need more its High Resolution Mode allows me to capture 96 megapixel images that have extraordinary clarity, and stunning levels of image quality that even rivals medium format.

This camera is paired with the superbly sharp 20-60mm F3.5-5.6 lens, the absolutely amazing 28-200mm F4-7.1 that seems to defy the laws of physics its so small, and the fantastic 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 telephoto lens which gives me a wide range of focal length to capture near or far subjects.

My back up camera in case anything should go wrong with my S5II , or if I just fancy carrying a small even lighter weight package, maybe to be discreet in a city, is the Micro Four Thirds Lumix G90. This camera took the majority of images in the London Gallery and has a fantastic 20 megapixel micro four thirds sensor that captures amazing detail. This is combined with the terrific and extremely sharp Lumix 12-60mm lens (a 24-120mm full frame equivalent) which gives me a versatile focal range in just one lens.

Below I have included the weights of my cameras and lenses so you can see how I strive to maintain a lightweight pack but still achieve the maximum in image quality.
