My daughter is coming to the end of her college course for photography and she has been invited onto the degree course.
She is going to need some new equipment and we are currently trying to decide whether to upgrade her to full frame or whether to invest in a compact system camera like the Olympus series so she can try street photography (or at least have a more discreet camera / light weight camera for their many trips) , or whether to go for something like the D7200.
She currently has a D5100 with a few lenses (my old kit), she has access to my d800 and lenses (for special occasions!) and access to a whole slew of Canon equipment through the University...
She will be discussing this with her new teacher over the next couple of weeks, but I would rather have multiple thoughts on this, specially as they seem to prefer Canon
What benefits and drawbacks might there be of having a CSC instead of upgrading her d5100 to some newer Nikon (either crop or full frame)
Many thanks for all opinions.
