I am about embark on a rather lengthy trip and need advice: I, on short trips, have carried 2 cameras and 4 lenses: Canon 5D Mk.II and Canon 6D. I intend to travel with one camera - sell the two and replace with one.
Which one?
Fred, though it's been a while since I've heard it referred as such, but when the 6d came out, to differentiate and create a separate market for it from the 5dll, the 6d was being called a travel camera by Canon, due to its smallish size, FF, low light handling and the wifi capability.
So going back to its original billing, it's small size and great low-light abilities, I would assume it's still one of the best travel cameras made, and it's FF!!
When I travel by car, I can of course take two kitchen sinks. But when my travel involves a plane, I just have to give some things up..., like lots of lenses.
If your lenses are fine, then I(personally) don't see the camera making a huge difference.
In your shoes...., I would take the 6d, a 24-105 and a 50mm f1.4.
For many, to give up the sensor is the first place they cut and for them is no big deal, for me, it's a big deal!!
When I'm too old to carry a real camera, I'll cross that bridge. Good luck with the gear and have a great trip!! ;-)
