Always welcome someone else's opinion!

Going to Europe next month for 30 days..part cruise part land...wife kindly suggesting I pack Light !

I have a Nikon D500 and several lens..always been very pleased with the quality of the results...

Since I am getting older and a tad tired of lugging 3 lenses + the D500 I am contemplating getting a Sony RX10 IV and just bringing that...

I am probably overthinking this...as I boil things down it all comes down to weight. I know that the D500 will at the end of the day will produce better images (RAW + Jpeg)

But the Sony RX 10 IV seems to be an easier solution - easier to travel with, Great zoom lens, + flash if I need it...probably sacrificing image quality a little - but I won't enlarge anything beyond 8x10 if that....

Of course on the other side I will be shelling out some bucks for the new camera....So I keep going back and forth....

Ok what do you think ?

Suck it up and bring the D500 gear or go for the Sony RX10 IV ?

very impressive !

nicely done
