Re: Which camera for Europe trip - R10, G5X MII or maybe Sony RX100VII

This one is really hard to say. Here is what happened to me. I took my a DSLR set with me before. Typically that means one body, 70-200 2.8 L, 24-70 2.8 L or 17-40 L. Maybe a 50mm 1.4. Typically when I go out, I just use a sling to take one combination. If I want to take more pictures of people, I take 70-200. For sight seeing, 24-70 and if I go indoor with a larger group, 17-40 (and flash). But it is a lot to carry around through airports and etc.

But the last time I did this I did not take many photos, because there were too much activities on water and swimming. GoPro is much better with that. I did get a few shots that is not possible with a photo or GoPro, but ultimately is a question of if it worth it.

So nowadays, unless I have a specific idea of what I will shoot, I don't take the whole set. 90% of the time a phone is good enough. I bought a Ricoh GR iii in case I want to something a little better quality. I tends to stay away from small point and shoot zooms, because it never look much better than a photo. Besides, iPhones nowadays are much more water friendly.
