I'm current a EOS R User, I will go Japan Osaka next month with my family.

Last year I went Japan with my wife, with 6D, 50 1.2, 24-105, but 60% time leave them at hotel, because everyday were rainy day, I'm tired with the umbrella and bulky DSLR .

Now I'm planning bring the RF 24-105 & RF35 to Osaka, and outgoing with 1 lens. I think the R with RF35 is light enough for everyday carry.

Or should I give APS-C Camera a try ? Now the M6 MKI kit just USD350, but need add 40-50 for extra battery, 1 tiny battery for travel not feeling enough.

Also I'm afraid EOM-M6 with Kit lens were poor performance compare with R with RF35.

Keep using 1 system, Save money for next lightweight RF lens. or
the M6 with kit lens still great and worth to get?

I will go local Canon store to give it a try.

Hi Yana,

I am often have the same problem.

Here is my choice;

- If I want to have many shoot of my family, I will just take R + 24-105 + one small flash (Godox TT350) and light/small tripod if possible. Flash is for fill light when I am shooting my family (shooting people) and the tripod for shooting landscape or cityscape.

- If my stuff already too much, then I will exchange 24-105 with the RF 35mm.

Have a nice holiday.

Best regards,
Peter
