Traveling always presents a dilemma for me. I have a G11 which takes greats shots and shoots raw. But, of course, there is nothing like an SLR for fast shooting.

For a resort type trip (where lounging on the beach is the main event) I plan to just take the G11.

For a trip overseas I will bring my 20d and a walk around lens like an 18-200.

My question is this: since I am lucky to own some good L lenses, should I bring them? Will I regret not bringing them? Or will be worried about them the whole trip?
Will a walk around lens (like the Sigma 18-200) be good enough to keep me happy and not so worried? obviously there is no right answer, I'm just looking for opinions. Thanks.

You have to decide are you on holiday or are going on assignment..

I'm one for travelling light.. I tripped around SE Asia with a gripped 350D, Sigma 18-200mm non OS, spare CF cards, spare batteries and battery charger.. I found this a nice travel combo and got the shots..
