My simple travel setup and it produces favorable result to my surprise!

I bought X-T20 in 2019 for NZD$850 and a used 18-55 for NZD$350.

Boy, it blows my mind! I am able to get sharp, crisp and low noise shot with this USD800 combo.

I traveled the japan getting every shot as how I wanted.

The only limitation is MYSELF.

Now comes the VIDEO! It is AMAZING for its price!

Must watch in 4K:

Just set -2 highlight, -2 shadow, standard profile and you are good to go without colour grading.

The standard profile gives you natural yet pleasing colours. The AF is OK with most slow subject.

Good luck to camera buyers out there! KEEP IT SIMPLE!

Nice travel shots, good color, good exposure, easy on the back. Way to go!

thanks Ed. I have found when i bring heavy gears, it drags me down and affect my mobility to capture more shots.

Are you the same person that put this post up on Amateur Photographer, and at least two other photo forums?

A "day" bag, which can be flattened for transport, gives me the best both worlds, heavy vs light.

Unfortunately I tend to travel "heavy." Two bodies and 7-8 lenses are typical, plus flash, batteries and cables. It is only with much deliberation that I leave something behind which will probably not be used. Case in point, a 90 mm macro lens stays home now. I have learned to walk about with a small, lightly padded shoulder/belt pack, for up to 4 primes or one f/2.8 zoom in addition to one on the camera. The large backpack or roller stays in the car or hotel room. Really light, for me, is a camera and one lens, typically 25 mm.
