Avarice versus Greed

sfau

Morning everyone
I currently use a Nikon d200 with a 18-200mm lens (which I like very much).
In the spring I am off travelling again but this time size and weight are a major consideration.
My main area of photographic interest is shooting landscapes
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
What do I do?
· Keep the camera and don’t whine about the size and weight
· Fit my d200 with a much smaller (wide angle lens) lens
· Buy a canon g11
· Buy a Nikon p6000
· Buy something else
Having read many reviews online I am now suffering from information overload!

Any ideas?

That's a hard one. I took my D90 and D40 down to Disney and ended up using the D90 90% of the time. If you're doing landscapes, then a wideangle is a must. If you're looking for a cheap, wideangle that I love, get the 18-55mm DX VR lens for around 200. It's small, light and very cheap and I love it, the lens is pin sharp and crystal clear. Just a good compromise for weight and capability.

If you dont want to carry a DSLR, then by all means get a P&S that you feel comfortable with.

What is your budget? The Olympus/Panasonic micro 4/3 cameras could work for you.

I am a big fan of the new canon S90 as a travel camera.
