Advice: Ultra wide travel camera... X100 + Converter, X-T1.... or stick with my D90+10-20mm

Thanks for all the replies here. Really good advice and very helpful

In the end, I decided to go as wide and light as I could (also I have to be slightly realistic about costs, I come to realise!)

So, I hope you won't think I'm trolling when I say that I went for the OMD E-M10 with 9-18mm lens.

I appreciate I won't get quite the width or perhaps quite the IQ of the X-T1 with 10-24mm lens, but it is still going to produce some great photos - mostly probably better then the D90 with 10-20mm lens (which I was pretty happy with bar the 1.2 kg weight around my neck!)

My thinking:

X-T1+10-24mm = 440g + 410g = 850g

X-T1+10-25mm = £1049 + £849 = £1898

OMD E-M10 + 9-18mm = 396g + 155g = 551g

OMD E-M10 + 9-18mm = £529 + £479 = £998

That's 300g and £900 difference, which, for me and my travels, is hard to ignore.

Ha! I already have the X100.... but with the money I've saved, I might not sell it

Certainly a lovely camera it is!
