So I am going on a Contemplative Photography tour to Bhutan at the end of the year and I was ready to buy a completely new Canon EOS 7D with a nice wide angle for shots of the large temples and mountain landscapes, a really fast mid range lens, a 100 mm F2 for candid portraits, and a telephoto lens out to about 200mm - range of filters for slow shots of the rivers and then I thought - what am I doing? This is supposed to be contemplative photography, I am going to Bhutan to be "in the moment" and see everything as it is, not jockey between lenses like a game hunter going for the kill.
So here is the question, do I buy a full kit like above (currently nursing a very old canon dslr) or do I chill and take a chance on a high quality fixed lens camera so I am not jumping from lens to lens, and I can carry it on a pouch on my belt all the time - contenders for this are the new Canon G1X - with a dslr size sensor, the older Canon g12 (which I can almost carry in my jacket pocket),or the Sony NEX range (yes can change lenses but less likely too), or my current favourite - the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 with a huge 28 - 600 equivalent zoom range without changing a lens??
Appreciate any and all suggestions. Simon
