Has anyone that typically carries around a larger interchangable lens camera recently committed to a long photo walk or trip with just a small camera like the G series? I bought the G5XII a year or so ago because I missed having a pocket camera on me all the time like I did 15 years ago (back then it was a Nikon P310 mostly). But these days I find I don't feel like taking it with me and restricting myself to the short lens or the small sensor. I'm tempted to force it and go spend a weekend in a city with just my G5Xii and see what happens. Maybe it will be freeing. Maybe I'll constantly by blaming missed shots on the camera.

Don’t underestimate the G5x II; I recently was forced to, pretty happy with the keepers. I brought my M6II and M glass in tow, and the G5x II. Because I only had one battery for the M, and airports involved, G5x II was an ideal fallback option. I’ll be dragging it along tomorrow “downtown”, probably.
