Re: Saw a few reviews so far, R10 it is after all

Yes. But with just the one lens ie RF-S 18-150.
I think it will make for a just the right travel/holiday setup for me. The only other thing I will want to carry is the 430 Speedlite and... f/8 and be there.
Have been looking at the currently published reviews so far and while the compactness of the R10 + 18-150 has its appeal, I think if I do go RF-S route, it will be the R7.
R7 is not all that heavier compared to R10 (with the 18-150 lens) but has none of the disadvantages of the R10 (granted it is pricier !)
A sever case of GAS confusion I must say !
I saw the reviews quite a few times over and concluded that out of the two I indeed will be better with the R10 + 18-150 kit.
FWIW it all boiled down to identifying my needs in the end really. I am not a serious BIF shooter. The lenses I have suffice my needs very well on FF and I don't need a 1.6x crop with more "pixels on the duck".
I don't think getting yet another body in the R6 weight and size class will be very useful. I already have my R6 and FF lenses if and when I need them.
What I was missing was something light and convenient with an all purpose lens for the times when I really am not prioritising photography but do need a camera and don't want to faff about with changing lenses. EOS RP came pretty darn close but then I would have used it with the RF 24-240.
With the R10 + 18-150 ... I lose out on FF but that body + lens weighs the same as RF 24-240 lens on its own and has DiG!C X goodness all over it.
Cancelled my R7 pre-order (not that I was going to get it any time soon any ways ) but kept the R10 pre-order. Another month to wait though !
