Re: Gear for travel over the years

Great photos ~ and I've been going through a similar journey to get lighter as I've gotten older, but still want the flexibility for a variety of shots. Had been a Nikon shooter for almost 30+ years then went to Olympus, then went to a Sony a7rII, and now also have an x100V so I'm trying to decide which way I want to go now that I'm retired and doing even more international traveling. Nothing worse than lugging 25+ lbs of gear on a 10-mile hike through the Amazon Rainforest in Ecuador.

I have my eye on the Sony a7rV and may just suck it up and carry that and my x100V on our next trip to Thailand and Indonesia but the pack really does get heavy, but then I'm excited about the possibility of the xpro4 and what it may have to offer, then I can go totally Fuji.

I don't do much video and I love the IQ and AF of the Sony a7rv from what I've seen, but I've always wanted an x-pro for street/travel photography and simpler uncomplicated shooting ~ decisions decisions.

At this point, I think I'll continue to travel with my x100v and Sony a7rII then when the x-pro4 hits I'll decide if I want to go all Fuji or stay with the two systems. Hopefully, Fuji really puts some serious thought into what xpro shooters may want and need.
