How heavy is your camera bag when taking on a trip?
mention a flash and you know, plenty of small stuff. I
am so excited when ever I have to leave for somewhe-
re that I don't think of making it any lighter.
Light is free… capturing it is not!
May I offer you two comments ...
a) back in film camera days my kit was similar to NS's ... two camera cases plus lenses plus flashguns and so on, until I retired and downsized heaps of stuff. Travelling for months at a time in a motorhome caused a dramatic downsizing, and when I went digital back in 2003 I also dumped all the SLR bodies and lenses and went for a superzoom system - and have never regretted it. The motorhome's locked secure storage for laptop and camera is about 1-foot cubed, and so there is not much space for the 1001 bits of stuff I used to carry around all the time
b) =if= and when you travel overseas or in the outback via small aircraft to a tourist location, you will find that your TOTAL carry on weight is limited to 15kg. This forces you to seriously reconsider what you are going to take with you

Yesterday was chatting to a woman about to do a 16-day aero tour of Australia's Kimberly / Pilbara area in a 12-seater plane ... all 5-star stuff and well out of my price range
Each passenger was 'advised' to bring several changes of clothes incl formal wear for evening meals, along with hiking boots and other clobber for outdoors activities
However each passenger was restricted to a total baggage weight of 16kg .... about 35lbs for those who still use pounds
