[QUOTE="KJProX, post: 691764, member: 44438"] Couldn't find a better spot to ask this, so here it is. I am going on a trip of of lifetime for me end of April, I'll be going to Tokyo for 11 days to visit my son. Obviously great photo opportunity's. So here is my dilemma, take the D700 and 28-200 Tamron, Pentex manual 50 1:4 lenses. Pro's: Love the camera and how to use it, control layout, picture quality. Cons: big and heavy (Will be around my neck when out and about or in a backpack), can't USB direct into my 2010 Macbook that I planned on taking to off load files( Hate to pull the CF card in and out) Or take my Sony A58 DSLR and Tamron 28-200, Minolta 50 1:7 lenses. Pro's: Small, light weight, 20.2 megapixel, higher ISO, SD card works in reader into Macbook Cons: It is really small in comparison, most all settings are not direct and require two step or menu driven. So similar lenses and yes I know the Tamron 28-200 is not the greatest lens but for me is a good compromise all around lens. Not concerned about the megapixels difference in the camera's. So what would you take, who has traveled with a D700 (non professionally)? Just trying to figure what to do, thanks for any advice. [/QUOTE]
