If you want to travel lighter, for example visiting museums, attractions, like any other tourist, it is recommended to have the A900 or A850 with you? I think with a 18-300 sigma lens and a 50mm 1.7 is enough for traveling comfortably.
Claudio, if i wanted to travel lighter, I’d take a NEX-5 with a full APS sensor in a package barely larger than a point-n-shoot: https://briansmith.com/hands-on-sony-nex-5/
Hi Brian,
I’m always curious about these what’s in the bag posts. So now that cameras like the A7/r are out. Has your bag changed since you made this post?
Oh yea. I’ve got three photos in the new book with the bags I’m using. Maybe I’ll post one when it comes out…
