Or, if you multiply all the figures by 0.5 as separate figures rather than lumping it together you get what I posted. Having held both (well, the original a7), it's definitely not half the size of the 6d.
No you said it's the "best compact"!
This!
Indeed, hense why my calculations were based on that. Its certainly not half the size!
halving the linear dimensions would create a camera 8x smaller
But it's not half the size, that's plain fact.
We also went through a stage of not being allowed to take photos of her, then i was, and now i'm not again unless on holiday or at a wedding or something 
I found the opposite of this to be true. Although not married, been together for years
I don't think the OP wanted to buy another camera to take with him, he wanted advice on taking 2 of his existing cameras. He already has some excellent equipment, i'm sure he doesn't need to spend £1000 to save some weight off one of his bodies, especially as he hasn't actually quibbed about the weight, more the security.
Shayne, if you're happy carrying 2 bodies then go for it i say. If last time you were annoyed about missing shots through lens changes etc then i think you know the solution, 2 bodies or a different setup of lenses although i'd argue why spend all that money on ace lenses to not take them on a photography trip? (you don't mention if you have any others that may be more suitable) Putting a camera in a bag may secure it whilst not in use, but you have to factor in whether taking it out of the bag will make you miss your shot in the same way as swapping lenses.
Cracking shots from last time by the way, i can see why you'd want your best gear with you to capture it all
No doubt about it being brilliant, but I can't think of a worse lens to take for street photography. That's just my preference and they way I shoot though.
The 70-200 makes everything look pretty, but mostly tells you nothing about where you are in the world and keeps too much distance between you and the subject. For me street is about getting in close, talking to people and having an experience. Maybe even sharing my pictures with them.
Two bodies swinging about your body with big zooms attached is about as far away from my street photography experience as you can get
I was going to make a joke about looking like an American tourist, but meant no offence whatsoever to Shayne

I will say,,, open your mind and you will discover....
If you think there is only one way to capture street photography you have been reading too many books and not shooting enough.
Wait a sec. That bloke looks familiar. Famous toggerEach to their own. I never said there's only one way to capture street photography, just that the way I do it is pretty much the opposite of yours.
The reason I do what I do isn't because it's written in a book. It's because of the experiences I have when I'm shooting on the street. If anything, I shoot for the experience more than anything else.
Last week when I was shooting portraits of Iranian sailors at the Creek in Dubai. I shot some frames and we talked for a while. Not about anything serious, just about Iran and how it was unlikely I'd ever visit. They said the same about England and we chatted some more. I left about an hour later after being shown around their boat and having some chai with the captain and some of the younger sailors. That's what street photography means to me. Would the same thing have happened if I had two pro bodies and zooms hanging around my neck? I honestly don't think it would.
Although not my pic, this is from the same day

Gets told to stop reading books and go out and shoot more.
Has done, with Zack Arias.
Brilliant
