What camera do you RVer's use?
Not exactly a RV question, but we will be retiring next year and heading out in our RV for 6-8 months at a time. Heading to Alaska in 2018. RVer's know equipment. I want to buy my wife a nice camer...

I have a Pentax DSLR (K-5). I chose Pentax because, at the time I was first buying, there were some lenses available in that mount that were not available in other mounts.
Many cameras, not just DSLRs, are available that take very good pictures in good light. In low light situations, DSLRs and other cameras with large sensors will invariably outperform cameras with tiny sensors (cell phones and point-and-shoot cameras) simply because the larger sensor and lens collects more of the limited light available. It's a simple question of physics; collecting more photons gives more fidelity to the image. The larger sensor cameras also generally have better dynamic range--that is, they can capture both bright and dark areas without the bright areas being washed out/clipped and the dark areas completely black.
If interested in a DSLR or similar interchangeable lens camera, I would suggest spending the money on good lenses and a more basic body rather than the other way around.
