Once again i need advice on camera and lens suggestions, this time for a safari in September.

We each have nearly current models Samsung phones.
Sony RX100 VI
Canon EOS 70D
Lenses EF-S 18-200, EF 70-300, EFS 10-18, EFS 18-55

What to take or leave? not planning on publishing photos.

Same two lenses I had been taking but lately have been leaving the EOS home on more minor trips. These are major trips.

We have 2 upcoming trips, Scandinavia by cruise ship plus land extensions (May 2023), Galapagos and Machu Picchu (September 2023) and need camera advise please. We have 2 current model Samsung S22/S23 cameras. EOS70D with a bag full of lenses, Sony RX100VI, OLympus TG-4 (for Galapagos only). The only real question is do I take the EOS70D? I am not a professional photographer and will likely post pictures but not publish them.

We live in the Catskills and good color is spotty at best right now. We were in the Adirondacks. last weekend and there wasn't much there either. I would guess by next weekend color should start getting better but 2 weeks should be ideal in the Adirondacks and 3 weeks in the Catskills. Good color before Columbus day is always iffy.

That is quite a photo from Machu Picchu. Drone? Photoshopped?

Thanks so much for all of the advice. So I will take the 10-18 and the 18-200 (my normal go to lens). Get a sling bag from B&H. Yes I have house sitters - our 3 adult children and 6 grands (7-16) all live within 10 minutes. Yes we have an RV that has been out west - pictures of Glacier, Yellowstone, Black Hils, etc. are great. Will be hauling the RV aroung a lot more also.

HELP! My wife is retiring and we will be doing some serious traveling. I need advice on what gear to take, or updates needed, from the experts on this forum.

We will be in Egypt and Jordon This April/May
Ireland October, 2022
Scandinavia (cruise) May, 2023
Galapagos and Machu Picchu Sept/Oct 2023 (part cruise)
Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania via cruise ship Feb/Mar 2024
Planning stage Anatarctica, Safari, Iceland/Greenland

I have the following now:
EOS70D
Lenses: 10-18, 18-55, 18- 200, 70-300, a cheap super zoom
SONY RX100 VI
Olympus TG4 - for snorkeling
Current Samsung Cell phones
Smallish camera backpack that I usually use - just fits gear, a larger one that has extra space

Take a tripod? Special filters needed?

Thanks for all your expertise.

Got the Sony with a package of goodies from Beach Camera. 3 batteries Has a viewfinder. Practicing has begun. So far so good.

Thanks for all of the advice.

Thanks for all of the advice. I am now pretty set on getting the Sony RX 100 MIV. Just need to hit the camera shop and put one in my hands.

I currently have a Canon EOS 70D with a variety of lenses. Gets to be a bit much fpr extensive travel and long days on day trips, lugging it around Europe last summer was not easy. I also have an Olympus Stylus Tough which is great for the beach and snorkeling, but limited for scenery, etc.

We have a trip coming up this Fall that includes a 10 day cruise in the eastern Med starting in Athens, including Israel, ending in Rome where we will stay for several days. I was looking at some mirrorless cameras with decent built in zoom capability that could fit in a pocket. I would rather not carry lenses around.

Suggestions please.

Thanks for all of the comments. I will take my camera, the 18-200 and the 10-18. plus the pocket camera. Eveything else stays home. Sure makes things easier to carry. More space for souvenirs for the grandkids.

I should have listed lenses.
EFS 10-18
EFS 18-55
EFS 18-200 (my normal go to lens)
EF 70-300 USM (was great in Alaska)
and a flash Speedlite 580EX
plus a pocket camera OLympus stylus Tough (takes great shots of grandkids in the pool and snorkeling)
I have a large camera back pack (can also carry jackets, etc), a smaller camera backpack (holds all of above) and an old shoulder bag.
Sounds like the big tripod and monopod stay home.
What should I take?

Heading out to a 2 week Viking river cruise next week. Amsterdam to Budapest. Canon 70D with several lenses. Any suugestions on which lenses to take and special places for photos?

Beautiful. Will be there about June 14. Driving out with 5th wheel trailer (also Black Hills, Devils Tower, Yellowstone, Grand Teton). Hope the going to the sun road opens by then. Any suggestions welcome.
