Isn't it interesting? I was going to respond to Rich's reference to his gallery X100 shots, by saying that I used my X100 a lot while wandering round the French markets. I found it 'convenient and unobtrusive, for shooting candid shots from the waist (ie with it just hung round my neck) I was going to say 'my french market shots in the gallery were with the X100'. As it turns out most of them were with the D7000!!!!!!! Which surprised me...but it sort of reinforces my point that despite the X100 being ideal for street photography, for some reason I opted to use the D7000. :baffled:

Well, I missed most of this post. I cannot imagine life without my DSLRs. main reason would be the use of telephoto lenses. Putting a long lens on a rangefinder camera pretty much defeats the purpose of lightweight portable shooting. On the other hand, I can't imagine ever taking DSLR on a plane trip again. Tom

Tom This is an example of the NEX 7 with the zoom on it at 200 mm. Heavily cropped, through the kitchen window, handheld and in lousy light. It isn't great but certainly better than nothing. Ed Attachment: DSC00624_v1.jpg (Downloaded 54 times)

That being the case I put a long lens in the back of the car... just in case. But with the choice in the bag for walking around, I still seem to favour the DSLR. Maybe if the X100 was an EX or XPro with a (lazy) zoom I might respond differently. :baffled:

I want to be able to capture every aspect of my vacation with the best equipment I own because I will probably never return to that location. I agree it's a PITA to travel these days and carrying a DSLR kit makes it more so, but I'm not sure I could bring myself to leave the DSLR at home. Having my wife carry the equipment helps.

NEX6 has much better much control layout than the NEX7. Only difference apparently is the extra MP of the NEX7. NEX6 has 16MP v. 24MP in the NEX7. http://www.dpreview.com/previews/sony-alpha-nex-6/
