To try and distil - I think I would like to just have one system to learn and therefore not have to worry about remembering if that button does this for that on which system iin order to concentrate and taking the photograph - minus are now pretty complex. It's similar to driving my car with...

I currently keep my gear - Nikon D7100, 100mm macro lens, 10-20 zoom, 70-300 zoom , 35mm, flashgun, remote cable, cards - in a Lowepro backpack bought when I used to hump all my kit around. It’s become a bit unwieldy and heavy to do that plus I no longer need to take all that kit on trips but...

Many thanks for all the advice. Teflon-Mike, especially.

Having been used to how a Nikon works I admit to finding some of the bells and whistles on the Olympus unnecessary and somewhat difficult to remember which button/menu option did what. A general travel zoom, macro and wide angle are the main lenses I'd want.

Thank you sincerely for all the advice.

I have a very nice Nikon D700, Nikon 17-35, 24-120 50mm 1.8 and 70-300 lenses. I'm about to retire and have trips to Italy and Vietnam planned. As you'll appreciate taking all of these lenses and an - about to be added - couple of Lee filters it's quite a heavy load - the D700 itself is...
