USA Trip

[howler]

I'm heading to the USA in April, will be doing NYC, Vegas, Yosemite and San Fran

Obviously there are some great picture taking opportunities that I don't want to miss out on. Initially I was going to take my 7D with 17-50 and 70-200 but I'm not sure if it will be a bit of a pain to lug around all the time

I was considering purchasing something like a Sony NEX 5 to take with me instead, is this going to give me the control and quality pictures that I want or is there something similar that I could look at?

I don't want to spend a fortune, so if it costs too much then I'll probably just take the 7D

Thanks DP, you make some good points there

I think I was mainly thinking how to carry my kit around easily but I think I will just take my lowepro bag and use the spare space in it for other items that I'd normally carry in my bag

Incidentally I do actually have a Canon 100D on my desk at work for a project I have been working on so I could borrow that if I wanted to

As this is a one-off trip as such I don't really want to chop in my 70-200 for another lens, I'll just make do with it. If I can pick up a 1.4 convertor then I guess that'll do the trick

Nice picture, good shout on the gorilla pod actually. I've got a small one but will get a bigger beast for the 7D I think
