Continuing the RX100 (et al.) vs. GR II/III conversation.
Part of me wants to bring my 810 + 16-35 and filters and tripod on this trip. For one, we're going to a few places that are on my photo bucket list, such as Cinque Terre, Lake Como, Neuschwanstein...southern France in general...
My better half is not thrilled about that idea. It certainly wouldn't be a daily camera so I don't see the problem because I don't want to lug it around the streets of Paris either, for weight and theft reasons. Why I do want to bring it in the first place is mainly for long exposures at the seaside or at night, ISO performance in churches and wide angle POV for all the aforementioned spots.
If there was a compact that could do those things without needing to weigh 800 lbs that'd be sweet. But I'm a bit reluctant to leave my ol' faithful behind and be in a spot regretting not having it.
Thoughts?
