which camera for travel?
Jul 1, 2023 15:41:15 #
I have a Sony A73. I'm thinking of a smaller camera for travel in my old age! I'm looking a Fuji XT-5 or an OM1. Any input on this decision?

JD750 purchased an OM-1 not long ago, maybe you could persuade him to post some images.

For me, it would be an OM-1 with either a 12-40 f2.8, 12-45 f4 (lightest and smallest lens), or 12-100 f4 lens.

My brother always shot Canon and he switched to Olympus and never looked back. He has an OM-1 and loves it.

For me, it's the Leica Q3. A 60MP camera with a superb 28mm Summilux lens with electronic zoom to 35, 50, 75 or 90mm focal lengths. Just released, they're hard to find right now, but worth the wait.

Anticipating the unexpected, 12-100.
I use the 12-100. For just some casual local schlepping I do use smaller lighter lenses but to be reeeeally prepared the 12-100/4.0 is the deal.

They are also $6k

Hello,
Based on some advice from the people here at UHH I just bought the om-1 with the 12-100 and the 100-400 for a trip to Iceland and Norway later this month.
Very happy with the size and quality
Cheers Daryl

According to your profile, you've been at this with some level of focus for about 15 years. Your camera has changed since you joined here, but I wonder whether your interests and preferences have changed. If not, it would appear that UserID's recommended lens choice for an OM-1 is pretty much on target. A 12-100mm lens would match your historical equipment with additional wide-angle capability.
It looks like you have changed camera brands once already, so doing so again should not be a problem. Of course, your photography may have changed in other ways that we don't know about. Don't forget to consider those before spending your money.

I have an OM-1 and have been shooting m43 and other formats, for many years. M43 is my go-to kit for carry everyday, hiking, adventure, and travel. I can get my entire m43 kit, camera, 4 lenses, battery charger, tiny flash unit, in one small pack which will barely hold 1 full frame camera and 1 additional lens.

That was not the OP as far as I can see.
