So what are the dimensions and weights of the recommended cameras, its interesting to see the tradeoffs, as you can see the Sony Cyber-shot is really in the middle so very convenient for travel. It weights less than a pound, while the whole kits for the Digital Rebel is 1.1kg (more than 2.5 pounds) or up to 3 pounds with the flash.
So for the lightweight packer, the F11 really can go anywhere and the Sony is perfect for those trips where you do want to reduce the weight and maybe have just carry-on. The Canon kit really does require another separate bag.
