I would take my Nikon D3400 and Tamron 17-50 2.8 lens. 24mp, small, light and great for indoors and out.

I take a camera and 3 lenses.
10-18mm, 24-105mm and 100-400mm.
I don't spend time constantly changing lenses.
I know that where I am that likely most shots will be 24-105mm perhaps.
But that the 10-18mm could be called for or the 100-400mm. So the 24-105mm starts out on the camera. But in all my travels all 3 were easily used with no hassle. Of course I never do tours but go on my own at my own pace which can be very slow where a tour I see being herded by in less than an hour I might take 2 days exploring.

Here's a different answer. I take my Nikon P1000. It carries telephoto lens that magnifies 150 times--the moon can't be fitted into one pic, only part of it. It can be operated manually or automatically like a point and shoot. Nikon is known for its precise lenses. And if is too heavy get the same camera but with a lower number (see their site). You will lose some magnification as well as weight. Still 84 magnification is unbelievable . If you have questions feel free to write me at philfran15@att.net.

... I think it was about "is a UV filter to protect your lens a good idea"... or it could have been something about the trending "mirrorless lifestyle"...

I must have missed that.....
I thought it was a rhetorical question: "When did it become so complicated?".
Oh well.

All you need is Sony RX10/100 latest versions.......Until some one ( Zeiss) makes a serious 18-400 f3.5 - 5.6 lens or a fixed lens APSC camera with such a lens ......Naturally, there will be a lot of backlash/suppression from most lens/camera manufacturers 8-(
Well, you convinced me. I just bought a RX100. I have time to try it before we leave in May. If it doesn’t seem to be enough I will consider the RX10. Thank you.

This responce applies to all that ask this question.
In my opinion, if you have to ask this question, you probably haven't used your gear enough to answer it yourself.
So it probably doesn't matter what you take.

The OP said from the first post that he wasn’t asking anybody anything...just explaining his thoughts. It's been great fun following all the responses from our non-readers here.
