Take 2 aspirin and get a D4 and call me in the morning  Size - easily in and out of jacket pocket Quality - aps-c or better IQ - best available Otherwise, why not just use the DSLR? Tom

Agree V1 but x3 reach is gained by small CCD size so no further cropping without loss of quality. For price.... V1 full kit now available for £430 inc 10-30 and 30-100 zoom lenses. http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod.php?n=NikonNikon1V1+10-30mm&30-110mmLenses&p=2372 For image quality.... XE1 not as good as the D800 but as good as the D3. For overal speed and ease of use...... Nikon D3S The AF on XE1 or XPro1 cant compete with DSLR AF speeds and accuracy. Reinforces the no perfect camera thought! Only perfect for that situation of use.

I have a hard time visualizing having a full size Nikon lens attached to a V1 and going on vacation. Keep seeing ------ Eric at the beach with his new kit.  Doesn't seem to save all that much weight and not sure how you would get it in a pocket. I would still rather have a DSLR and 2 lenses and something like the x100 or xe1 in my pocket. But, then carrying gear is part of my work out keep healthy routine. Attachment: th.jpeg (Downloaded 21 times)

That was taken some time ago before the weight of my gear turned my beard grey! You are absolutely right about the weight saving. I think a clearer division of activity is required...leaving telephotos, tripods and DSLRs at home when walking about. Having a body that CAN cover all ranges isn't necessarily the best option.

I think you have hit on the solution. The same advice you gave me about software can be used for what you need for travel/walk about. What do you want to accomplish should rule the day. I have concluded that travel photography encompasses a wide range of photographic needs and a DSLR can handle almost all of them. I now carry a DSLR FX with a 24-70mm lens which can handle 75% of my shots and a 70-300mm for any reach requirements where I am too lazy to move myself. Yes, the 24-70 lens is heavy but hard to beat when you want the best photos of a location you may never see again. I take the whole kit but will leave the 70-300 lens on the boat or hotel if I know I will not need it. I want a x100 or xe1 for times where a DSLR may not work or to be less conspicuous or you just want a camera along "just in case". Also works as a backup when traveling. Sometimes simpler is better. I find a smaller kit easier to get comfortable with. Sometimes having too much gear at your disposal makes it harder to select what you "need" from what you think "you MAY need". Just my little world and I am sure everyone will have their own requirements which is great or we would all be carrying the same kit - how boring.
