[QUOTE="Anco, post: 352282, member: 30397"] So I'm off to Bali for a short trip mid next week and I'm a little unsure what gear to pack. I have just switched brands from Pentax and now have a D610 with my first lens due to arrive in sometime in the next few days. As yet I haven't even charged the battery in my new Nikon as there didn't seem to be much point. So at this stage I would say, I would have no more than a day or two to familiarize myself with this camera (not full days as i'll be working) before heading overseas. Should I jump in the deep end and take the new gear or play it safe and stick with what I know? It's not like the trip of a lifetime or anything, just a little getaway, but at the same time I've never been there and I would like to come back with some nice pics. The lens I'm getting for the D610 is the 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5, if I took my Pentax, I'd probably take a 17-50 f/2.8 and maybe an 18-270 f/3.5-6.3 What would you guys do? [/QUOTE]
