I get asked this question a lot by family & friends and I have to say that sometimes I asked myself the same question, especially when things got wrong.
After far too much travel where 3/4 of the gear I take along ends up not being used, I've been travelling for the past 6 weeks with an F80 and 24mm and 50mm lenses. And an orange filter.
It's a great little camera and if you're going to cover many KMs a day it's light, which makes a huge difference.
I usually use prime lens but on my recent trip to Scotland I took a 28-105d 3.5-4.5 and although it was a great lens, it was quite heavy on long days. I think it weighs around 450g.

A few grams makes a difference on a long day.
