I agree with David. Your are working cross-purposes. You know that small and light is what you really need but you want to take everything and a bag of chips with you because you fear not having the one thing you need. In reality, you won't need any backup cameras, you won't feel good about leaving any of your extra equipment in a hotel room and you'll have a lousy time hauling all that with you everywhere AND on top of that you will probably use one lens for 97.8% of your shots.
Frankly, if I had the money to go on such a wonderful vacation, I would spend a little more to get the tool that I really need to take with me for the job: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BOXED-PENTAX-Q7-CAMERA-BLACK-PREMIUM-KIT-LIMITED-01-02-06-08-LENS-/351385763292?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368 or http://www.amazon.com/BOXED-PENTAX-CAMERA-PREMIUM-LIMITED/dp/B00N3NT0ZC/ It will be perfect for your trip (small, light and versatile). If you don't feel you need it when you return, turn around and sell it when you get back. Whatever you get for it subtracted from what you paid for it makes it the cost of not having to lug about and worry about all of your larger equipment. I'm pretty confident that it will do the job you are really wanting to do on this trip, and eliminate the downsides I mentioned earlier. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
