If you are not bothered about RAW Just take the HZ200V only, it will be crowded and hot so the last thing you want is big heavy camera bag round your neck.
If RAW is needed take the Sony A58 with the Tamron 18-250 instead.
Have a good trip, John.

Hi Andy,

What Ed has said is good advice. The Sony DSLR with the Tamron Zoom and whatever flash unit you use will be very effective and not too heavy to carry about. Plus much better image quality than you'd otherwise get.

Let us know how you get on, and don't forget to show us some of your photographs.

Regards.

Phil.

I do like the hz200v with its big zoom and ziess lens but it will be close .the sony hx200v does have a lot more restrictions but quality is good.and so is the 30zoom,but I have this nagging in my brain that the sony a58 SLT could do better -your thoughts john
