[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 671055, member: 7240"] I'm just musing my own thoughts, so you can give them exactly the value you paid for them. :D If the size/weight is a primary concern, why not look beyond DSLR cameras altogether? There are great cameras that are not quite point & shoot, but instead have big sensors and top quality lenses, yet are compact and light. This is coming from a 6'5" guy weighing 217 lbs, and I regularly shoot a D5 with a AFS 400/2.8 VR hand held, so I am used to heavy gear. When I travel in non-photographic trips, I often take my Leica D-LUX (Typ 109) with me, and I think it is the same camera as a Panasonic Lumix LX-100. It has a four thirds sensor, very good Leica lens and offers both full auto and full manual and everything in between. It has been on the market quite a while, so the used prices are probably very affordable. [URL]https://www.dpreview.com/products/leica/compacts/leica_dlux109[/URL] Sony and other manufacturers have similar size "advanced compact" cameras, so it might be useful, or at least interesting, to take a look at those. Sorry, if I wasted your time. :) -Peter [/QUOTE]
