Short trip? Time to try something out!

It depends on how you are planning to travel. I spent 45 days traveling around Japan, leaving every few days for the next city. That's not a kind of lifestyle where you want to lug around lots of weight. I think I had about 1,5kg in photo material with me, and that's in the metal film SLR days. Just with the XH2S and the 70-300, you're nearly there.

Fortunately for you, it's a short trip. That's an entirely different matter. Take whatever you like and just lug it around. If you're really sorry about it, hey, you're nearly going home anyway.

My photography style is most likely very different from yours, but for my next trip I’ll be downsizing my X-Pro2 to an X-E4. Travel photography is always a compromise between what you'd ideally like to take along, and what would be most practical.
