Hello all, thinking of getting either X100v or XT4 with 16-80mm or Oly M5 iii with 12-40mm f2.8

Am thinking of taking some pics of landscape, city and family pics. We are 3 families travelling and it is going to be half family pics and half cith/nature pics.

Any recommendation/suggestion based on the location am travelling to. I do have full frame (R6), but my lens are bit heavy to carry out.

Planning to get mft or apsc for smaller footprint and lighter in weight..

Thanks once again!!

If you have a FF system I'd personally not also purchase an APSC interchangeable system so would rule out the XT.  The X100V would be excellent, as would that m43 12-40 lens... It's just you really need to mount it on the E-M1 rather than 5 to get much better handling.  If you can find an E-M1ii at a good price and upgrade to the latest firmware you'd be amazed at how good it is.  Ultimately the 12-40 range sounds more versatile to me than the fixed lens X100 for the uses you've suggested, although the X100 can do all of them with some limitations.
