I thank all for the honest suggestions and good advice. You've diminished a lot of my confusion..........
As for "Architect"....I'll reserve comment

Going on Viking cruise from Barcelona with stops at Marseilles, Arles, Monaco, Dubrovnik, Corfu, Itals , ending in Venice.
Later in the year going to Africa for 2 weeks.
I have a Nikon D-7200 with 18-300, 16-80, 12-24, and 35mm.
Also have Fuji X-T2 with 55-200, 18-55, and 18-35. also have the FujiX-100f.

Which cameras and lenses should I take on each of these ventures?
Should I consider getting a D-500 to replace the D-7200?

Am confused and need your input and suggestions.
Thx, Ken
