Hi all
This is a while away yet, but in December i'm going to New York with the (newly married) missus for part of our honeymoon. I've been before but she hasn't so we will be doing all the touristy stuff a lot of the time.
My dilemma is what gear to take. I want to take the opportunity to try and take some good pictures, especially of Christmas time in New York, but equally I don't want to be spending our time setting up and wasting precious hours of our honeymoon composing perfect pictures and generally annoying my other half by waiting around for that perfect shot. At most I might do a half day of "proper" photography across the week.
Therefore I'm debating what I need to take. I'm obviously not going to take my massive camera bag, but should I even take the 70D at all? If I do, I will probably take along the new 24-105L that I recently picked up (which I absolutely LOVE), but having been to NY, I still think the 24 might even be a little long on my APS sensor for some things.
The other option is buy something else, a smaller bridge camera or perhaps something like an EOS M, but that won't necessarily give me a smaller sensor, though it does mean I have a second body to use my lenses with.
The other thing to consider is that I really hope to do some camera shopping while im out there, and subject to costs, might look to pick up a 5dIII, so thats something to think about too.
Any thoughts?
