Plugging an 85mm 1.4 Nikon (my favourite lens!) on to the end of it would seriously throw the balance out. Even the smaller Canon or Nikon fixed lenses would be too big – is this what you meant? The Lumix 20mm F1.7 G ASPH (pancake) is a fine lens and probably be one I'd be happy to walk around with. I have no quibble with the results you get with Nikon Capture NX2 – it's just that the interface is awful and the program drops 'temp' files all over the place. I don't like what Adobe’s Lightroom does to my RAW files, so I'll put up with Capture NX2, I just have to switch off my own inbuilt aesthetic filter to use it...

It's nice to hear from someone else who isn't cavalier about their back-ups! Jen, the G10 starts to suck around ISO800. Canon – who know a thing or two about camera sensors that can handle low light/high ISO conditions should be ashamed about this. Subsequently they reduced the megapixels and noise on the G11. Apparently. Stay tuned for news on the Micro 4/3 system front... Francoise, Thanks for your comments! It’s nice to hear from someone else who isn’t cavalier about their back-ups!

Plugging an 85mm 1.4 Nikon (my favourite lens!) on to the end of it would seriously throw the balance out. Even the smaller Canon or Nikon fixed lenses would be too big – is this what you meant? The Lumix 20mm F1.7 G ASPH (pancake) is a fine lens and probably be one I'd be happy to walk around with. I have no quibble with the results you get with Nikon Capture NX2 – it's just that the interface is awful and the program drops 'temp' files all over the place. I don't like what Adobe’s Lightroom does to my RAW files, so I'll put up with Capture NX2, I just have to switch off my own inbuilt aesthetic filter to use it...

Apparently. Stay tuned for news on the Micro 4/3 system front... Francoise, Thanks for your comments! It’s nice to hear from someone else who isn’t cavalier about their back-ups!

Jen, the G10 starts to suck around ISO800. Canon – who know a thing or two about camera sensors that can handle low light/high ISO conditions should be ashamed about this. Subsequently they reduced the megapixels and noise on the G11. Apparently. Stay tuned for news on the Micro 4/3 system front…

So...the G10 sucks, huh? If you ever get the Micro 4/3 system, let me know if it's any good. With 2 kids (no.2 is due March 2010), I don't feel like lugging my Canon EOS 5 anymore on family vacations! Oh my, I couldn’t stop clicking on the links on this post. So…the G10 sucks, huh?

Nice to get a glimpse of what the pros use :) Very useful to any long-term traveler. Especially the importance of data and photo back-ups! Carrying a small back-up hard drive on my last 5 month trip provided some peace of mind I did leave my laptop at the hotel/hostel. Looking forward to reading more great articles. Have a great time!
