[QUOTE="jimsantiago, post: 1251664, member: 29857"] Nowadays, I think that something like a Fuji X100vi would be the best choice for the Camino. But good luck getting your hands on one! Another (pricey!) choice would be the Leica Q3. On my first Camino in 2013, I took a Lumix GX1, which is a compact Micro 4/3 camera. That time, I only took one lens - the brilliant little Lumix 20mm f/1.7 pancake. It's a tiny lens with a field of view equivalent to 40mm on a full frame camera. It has a fast maximum aperture (great for low light), and very small. It's an old design, with slow focusing motors, but never a problem. I also had the eye-level viewfinder that snaps onto the camera's hot shoe and swivels up so you can look down into it instead of toward your subject. Very handy when you need a low angle of view. In 2015, on the Portugues, I had the Lumix GM1, which is even smaller. No EVF, just an LCD on the rear. Again I took the 20mm f/1.7, but also the kit lens, which is a tiny little 12-30mm zoom. It's the equivalent of a 24-60mm on a full frame camera. In terms of focal lengths, I never wished for anything more. The Micro 4/3 cameras are a delight. Lightweight, good in low light with a fast prime lens like the 20mm, and very, very light weight. They're really a joy to use. You could pick up an old GX1 for around $150 nowadays, and the 20mm for about $160. I think that even by todays standards, you would not be disappointed. The external viewfinder sells used for about $175. In my opinion, it's important to have at least one fast prime (i.e., fixed focal length lens). To be honest, I'm happy to travel and do a complete story with just a fast 35mm lens, such as the Leica 35mm Summilux f/1.4 and nothing more. [/QUOTE]
