Venice trip: X100 + X-E1 ?

Venice is beautiful. Been there twice, going back again.

Last time (Oct2012) I had my Nikon D5100, a zoom and a 35mm. Next time I am taking only my X100.

If you need to spend money, buy the XE1 and a zoom. I personally would spend that money while I'm in Venice, making pictures with my X100.

Also, if you get an XE1, learn how to use it expertly long before your trip. Screwing around with a new camera on vacation pretty much sucks.

Also . . .  If you have the time, train out to Padua for a day.
