>>3033713Speaking from long-term travel experience, the more cameras/lenses/gear the more frustrating traveling becomes. Always feeling like you brought the wrong lens/camera, always changing lenses because you never seen to have the right one attached, plus carrying all that shit sucks.
If I were you, I'd leave the 617 at home. That way you can leave the tripod at home too. Buy the 645w and take a 35mm fixed lens point and shoot. Assuming you have a decent smartphone, that can be your digital/backup.
