I agee with that too. But let me clarify the 2 lens criteria a bit. I
was thinking of travel where weight and simplicty are critical and
photography is only one objective and probably not the primary
objective but one wants a little more flexibility than an XA would
offer. Like wilderness backpacking or more extensive travel with a light
weight kit that you carry in one bag, Backpack, hostel, mochilero style.
I doubt you'd want to carry a tripod or couple of primes around in your
pocket like you might if you were based out of a hotel in one city. Or
this might even be a kit that you grab when going for a walk and don't
expect to take pictures but don't want to go naked either. Definitely
going to have to make some sacrifices and leave some of your babies
home. I can see that this will be hard on the more afflicted among us :>)
