Need some gear help.

Q&A

I have never asked this of the readership, but there’s a first time for everything.  And I feel a little lost.

I will be going on holiday this summer and need to make a decision about what gear to bring along.

Historically, I’ve been a one-camera-one-lens kind of photographer, and I intend to keep it that way.

Most likely, I will bring my M9 and 35mm Summilux.

However…

I’m a little restless… itching for a change… so I’m looking elsewhere.  Ideally I want a portable and capable camera.  Something silent would be a huge bonus but is not mandatory.

Current options:

  1. Leica Q
  2. Sony RX1R2
  3. Sony A9
  4. Nikon D810.  It’s not silent or as portable as the others, but it’s a great camera.
  5. Stay with my M9 + 35 ‘lux.

What do you think?

Thanks,

—Peter.
