On my trip to Alaska last June/July the Sigma 150-500 was the deal. Not what you'd call light by a long stretch but worth it on a trip like that.
Great shots. Unfortunately, the Bigma is not a consideration for me due to cost and it's more than I want to lug around.

If you buy anything less than a full frame, you will regret it later, and want to upgrade to a full frame.

Come to think of it, I cannot remember ever seeing a topic asking for advice on moving from full frame to crop sensor.

True. Sometimes the topic is to go from full frame to m4/3, with the "I'm done with the size and weight, give me something smaller please!" :-)

How is $9000 (used) more affordable than $7000 (new)? But the D4S is about 2 1/2 times the size of the M9, so a street camera it is not. My thought is that the perfect street camera is the Olympus EP-5 with the Pana-Leica 25mm, or the 20mm, or the Oly 17mm. If it's a little more reach that you want, put the excellent 45mm on it and get some VERY sharp shots!
+ 1.

To simplify things, maybe we could devise a test. Possibly one where if the candidtate can't see the differences between photos taken with different camera formats (not just FF vs APS-C) there would be no advantage to spending the extra money.

1. Do you think cropped or full frame would be better for me?

Forget the DX and the FX and just get the RX. 10 that is. Or even the 100M2. And then go travelling. Thats all you need.

for what you describe (a camera that you want to carry around with you at all times), you should look into one of the new high end mirrorless cameras. I'm a fan of the Olympus EM1, others will say Sony nex7 (or its replacement a6000) or Fuji XT1.
Small, lightweight, and all take awesome images.

An iPhone or any good P&S would be a perfect match for your needs. You could store and carry it in your pocket, they are rugged, and offer a huge selection. They also take great photos. GL

I agree with the mirrorless 4/5 folks witha 55mm prime. I'd buy Fujifilm or Sony.
