I know it is an annoying question but I just couldn't figure out what to choose for my forthcoming trip.
I am going to Amsterdam, Paris and Iceland for two weeks in late August.
I have a 7D2 with some EFS lenses 10-18mm, 55-250mm STM and Sigma 17 50 2.8. Plus the two Canon pancake lenses and the 50 1.8 STM.
I can also use my bro's 6D and his 17 40 and 24 105. (He bought a Sony A7 III recently and he can lend me his Canon gears with no complaint)
My own gears cover UWA to 400mm equivalent range. The 7D2 is slightly better weather-seal. Lenses are light-weight and they are quite sharp. I might just carry the two EFS lenses and bring the 24mm pancake as walk around. (Sigma is a bit heavy if I have to carry all of the lenses so I might skip it)
6D is better for lower noise but the lenses are relatively heavy and they won't cover the longer end. (I found that 6D creates better IQ than my 7D2.) Is 24mm of the zoom on a FF body wide enough for most shooting in Europe ? I can just add a 50 1.8STM for low light. Then it will be just one camera and 2 lenses to carry.
I have seen a post here may be years ago. Somebody just carried a 6D and 40 pancake to Italy (?) and the pictures are gorgeous. I might consider the same (or just the 24mm pancake on 7D2) if I have to travel really really light.
I shoot mainly stills and I can do some panorama stitches. But UWA will have some special effects.
Please share your experience.
