My 19 year old daughter is going for her first trip to New York in March and doesn't want to transport, or walk around with, much gear. The options are compact and/or DSLR + lens/es e.g.
Fuji X10 for convenience and being inconspicuous.
Sony A57 with Sigma 17-70mm and/or Sigma 10-20mm.
I feel that if she takes the DSLR she can get away with the 10-20mm for the cityscape/wide shots. In which case the X10 can handle the other stuff as it is is effectively the same focal length as the 17-70mm. She would not want to take the DSLR and both lenses.
If she can only manage the X10, would that cover most shots in New York?
Thanks for any advice, as I've never been the NY myself.
