In my studio at home I shoot a nikon D700 but it is a tank so on vacations and around town I also use a Fujifilm X-E1 and have had great results with it and you have a nice choice of lenses for the Fuji as well.

Thanks for the info MT shooter, I should know that as a Mac user the virus guys go after the larger PC market not the Mac.

Write speed is one thing but if the card you are using fails then the speed means nothing. I took a trip to Turks and Caicos last week and had a new SanDisk Ultra 32 GB card give me an error message and lost one hour of underwater images that I will never get back because they never got recorded to the card. Lesson learned always check a new card before you trust it and don't buy SanDisk. I talked to another photographer on my vacation and he had the same experience with a SanDisk card.

I think you should take a look at the Fujifilm-x-t1 camera for your trip. Easy to use, well built, photos are great and many good quality lenses to choose from.

I have 3 tripods but when I travel I take a Slik sprint mimi 2, it works great for my Fujifilm X-E1 with a 18-55 zoom. You can remove the ball head (SBH-100DQ) and that makes it 12" collapsed. With the head on it is 14" collapsed. It reaches about 45" and gets down to about 6" and has a quick release ball head.

It really dose not matter, I have owed a SE, 6100, 8100, quicksilver, iMac, mac mini, macbook, macbook pro, and a mac pro and never had a HD crash or a virus until I loaded vista with bootcamp.

I am a Mac guy and they might be a little more money but I have never had a HD crash or a virus in 20 years starting with my 8100, I don't think there is a PC person that can say that. Computers are like buying new digital camera bodes, the technology last about 5 years if that. I'm using a MacPro that I bought in 2006 and it still works like a champ.

I'm on a Mac and use iPhoto with iPhoto library manager version 4.1.5 by Fat Cat software http://www.fatcatsoftware.com. iPhoto library manager keeps my images organized in folders, then from ilm I can drag the images into photoshop if they need editing then save the edited images back to ilm. This software has never crashed on me in 8 years and I have 20 thousand Hi res images on this program. I duplicate my images automatically with copy cloner to an external 3 TB HD every Sunday night for safe keeping.

I'm a retired retouch artist by trade and use photoshop all the time. One very good professional photographer once told me that I would rather spend 1/100 of a second than 1 hour on 1 photo, so if you know your camera, lighting and have a good eye then all you need is a good way of keeping track of your images.

What about using iPhoto library manager for organizing your photo library? Anyone have comments, please.

Eye-Fi is not recommended for CF. I use Eye-fi on my Fuji X-E1 and it works great but it took some time to set up and I found that my first card was defective so they sent me a new one. I tried the card with a SD/CF adapter on my D700 and it did not work at all.

I have a nikon D700 and a D300 both very big cameras. I travel a lot about 2 to 3 times a year and got tired of hauling my big DSLR's around with me. I picked up a Fujifilm X-E1 and must say it has been a great travel camera and takes beautiful pics.

I must agree with ebbote look at what is happening with digital music, good sound dose not come from digital recordings people are going back to there old turntables and LP's because of the great sound quality.
