If you had the X100 with 35mm lens and XE1 with 60mm lens would you drop the D7000 from the travel kit?
Why not just the XE! and the 18-55mm?
The 18-55 isn't available yet, so we don't know how good it will be compared to the 18, 35 primes. It also looks a bit bulky. But there is no doubt that if it passes muster a zoom might be useful for lazy so and sos like me.
As far as the D7000 is concerned, my wife prefers the feel of a lightish DSLR to the X100 so it may still come with us. I also take a long lens with me, just in case I need some long reach and, although you can probably get an fujix - nikon afs adapter, I prefer to fix it to a DSLR.
But there is no doubt that we are entering an interesting phase of digital development. Until now it's been all about improving sensor, pixels and noise. But I think the new compact camera formats are blending the ease of use and convenience of point and shoot cameras with the funtionality and performance of DSlRs.
That's a wig I am wearing. My real hair colour is dark brown.
