I currently have a Canon EOS 70D with a variety of lenses. Gets to be a bit much fpr extensive travel and long days on day trips, lugging it around Europe last summer was not easy. I also have an Olympus Stylus Tough which is great for the beach and snorkeling, but limited for scenery, etc.

We have a trip coming up this Fall that includes a 10 day cruise in the eastern Med starting in Athens, including Israel, ending in Rome where we will stay for several days. I was looking at some mirrorless cameras with decent built in zoom capability that could fit in a pocket. I would rather not carry lenses around.

Suggestions please.

I also recently purchased the Canon Gs9 for an upcoming trip for which photography is not the main purpose. It doesn't have much of a telephoto capability - but then I mostly use that feature on my DSLR when I shoot wildlife. The GS9 has a 1inch 20MP sensor, and it has a lot of the large-camera features such as in-camera HDR (for shooting inside buildings, etc., but also has the multi-shot low-light low-noise feature for use inside really dark buildings. It creates both RAW and JPG files. And it is really small - almost too small, but it fits in a pocket very easily. The shots I have taken so far with it seem to be very good quality images.

Same. It's my schlepper. And for
schlepping, it wears its kit 12-60.

To "schlep" does imply some effort.
IOW it's not at all in the real pocket
size class. It's m43 after all. Really
pocketable size requires very much
smaller format.

====================

My G8 [G85 in USA] replaces my
Rebel SL-1 in concept: Compact,
interchangeable lens, lightweight,
low cost. Beyond that concept, it's
not just a replacement but a huge
upgrade in every possible aspect:
faster, smaller, great AF, smaller,
WYSIWYG, smaller, sharper, etc,
smaller, etc ..... and it's smaller !

Also cost about the same, which
makes it a much better value :-)
