Perfect to carry. I took a new, to me, Nikon D200 with 18-200 lens last holiday as well but hardly used it. Next time it stays home. I don't have many holidays though! When I travel for work I either take the Fogg bag loaded as above or a Canon S70, depending on how much spare time I am likely to have. I have bought a Panasonic TZ3 but can't get on with the holding the thing out in front of me - it has no viewfinder. I will probably give it to one of my children.
