Figured I'd write a short post about my recent trip. I went for a quick week long trip with extended family to Teneriffe early april. I had somewhat hard time deciding what gear to take with me..
In the end I left my Nikon Df + lenses at home and only took X Vario and X typ 113 with me. In the end I could have survived easily with just the Vario.
Have to say it was a very liberating experience. Just the Vario with a shoulder strap and done. I had the EVF, lens hood and grip attached to it all the time. They were fantastic. Was so light & easy to walk around without a huge bag over the shoulder.. light weight too. Couple of occasions I would have liked to have a longer lens, but those times could be counted with one hand.
I started the trip liking X Typ 113 much better and thinking the Vario is just a side kick. In the end about 90% of the shots were with Vario. Fantastic travel camera and the picture quality speaks for itself.
Anyway, if you like to see some "snappies" from the trip, you're welcome to do so here: https://flic.kr/s/aHsk6JknUE
I guess the only problem I had with the Vario ever was my nose hitting the play button. Quite irritating and totally causes a missed shot when ever you hit it.. They should make a firmware change that play button is disabled, when EVF is activated.
