Looks like I'm going to have to dig out the dart board again. I could be
tempted by Ken's first suggestion, however my "light" OM kit might include
the OM 3Ti, 24mm f2.8, 50mm f1.2 or 1.4 and the 85mm f2. B&W would be fine
for me and I'm thinking carrying the digital would force me to start a love
relationship with digital B&W. Serious head scratching begins. Bill

This summer I will be going on a 2 1/2 week tour of Italy which will be
opportunity to mark that off my bucket list. We will be on a Rick Steves
tour for most of the trip and will be limited to a day pack and one

carry on piece of luggage. You can probably see where I'm going with
this.
No, I won't be packing either my OM or e-thingy kits. For that matter the
medium and large format gear will also be staying home. I really hate
not
having my film gear with me, however . . .
So, if you were to buy a small digital camera in today's market what might
it me?
Basic requirements would be interchangeable lenses (although I would
probably carry only one), smaller than an e-5, video capable and under
$2,000.
I'm thinking one of the Olympus, Sony or other similar offerings. I like
an
optical view finder rather than composing on the screen on the back of the
camera however don't know that would be a deal breaker.
So what camera body/system and if only one lens, what might that be. I'm
thinking a 35mm equiv. zoom range of 28-135 would be adequate.
