I have a Nikon D610 that I previously traveled with. Between that, the lenses, WEIGHT, and the rest of gear, I decided to not travel with it anymore. A friend of mine had a Leica D-Lux6 with the grip, viewfinder, and flash. I bought all of it from him for $400. BEST decision ever! The Leica takes phenomenal photos and is lightweight. I like it because I can still use all the "features" of the Nikon. Shooting manual, etc, etc. I love this camera and I'm glad I started carrying it around on my trips.
