Re: Switch from T4i with 10-22 to NEX-6 with 10-18?

I just sold my Nex-6. I had to fund a lens purchase. It is a great camera and has an awesome sensor. for landscape it is the perfect little camera but the lens selection is not the greatest for the Nex line. The size is great compared to the Rebels but once you add a larger lens it just feels unbalanced. If I were you I would go try one before you decide anything. The menu system is probably one of the worst I have ever used and be prepared to change many batteries.  I would stick to the camera you know for a big trip. Thats just my opinion of course. The Nex-6 with the 16-50mm is very compact and will give you good results. The Sony 10-18 is expensive but is good. Personally I preferred the Sony 16mm with the ultra wide adapter. It kept the camera small and light. No touch screen on the Nex-6 not sure if that is important. Good luck with your decision and have fun on your trip.
