Re: Family Disney trip, 2020 edition

I used the G7 extensively for photos and video at WDW when I visited in 2016, and used a GX1 when I visited in 2012.

I thought the G7 was the perfect WDW camera, TBH.  I took the 12-35 f/2.8 and the 14-140 f/3.5-5.6, plus a Rode VideoMicro and a Sunpak 4200XL tripod in an Ape Case insert inside my backpack.  This setup was flexible, lightweight, and gave me great video/audio from the trip in addition to much better stills than I could have gotten from my cell phone.  No hassle bringing in the tripod, and I saw other people in the parks with much heavier duty tripods than mine.

So my recommendation is to take the G7 with the 12-35, and spring for a super lightweight tripod.
