[QUOTE="stmv, post: 114372, member: 10038"] I have the Nikon coolpix P7000 as my pocket camera,, takes very nice images, one of the nicer point and shoots. Personally, I prefer Canons for point and shoots, the higher end Canons take awesome photos, but.. Europe.. naw... these don't match the SLRs. so,, 5100 (at 490 dollars) same sensor as your 7000, a 18x55 junky but sharp lens will cover the duty. but, I guess when I want to be compact,, I just use the D7000 with Nikkor 20 mm (wide angle) Nikkor 50mm (medium and ultra sharp). and well, then you are into weight. I would pack a quality zoom like a 80-200 for Europe (but use it only when weight was not an issue). I guess you could bring the D7000 with the small primes for the primary camera, and buy a Canon with a long zoom for those distant shots. That would would work for me.. well no,, I just suffer and carry the weight,, that is why I work out! to be able to carry the gear. I carry the MF Tripod (a tank), D800, pro zoom, etc, and walk around for 8 hours... feels so good when you put the gear down,, but,,, the pictures outweigh the trouble. I'll carry a backpack for the lens,, and use the small primes when I can to lesson the weight when I can. But jeesh... Europe... deserves the best you can use. Life is short, Here is a shot with my D300 (before the D700 had come out which I totally had to have!) [ATTACH=CONFIG]27214._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
