I take 2 cards and swap them around each day alternating. That way if a card fails then I have only lost half my holiday photos. I do the same for my wife’s camera, also a RX100 vi. We don’t take a laptop so if you do then this may not be necessary. However laptops and cameras can get stolen as well as cards fail.

I must agree with Andrew’s opening statement: “Holidays are tricky” — they are not the only parts of life that are though….. I guess that I am not alone in dividing existence into two separate and strctly diverse parts:- Primary – during whch all that I am concentrating on is where and when the next photograph is going to present itself to me, and Secondary – when other things are going on which will interfere with my Primary “focus” (pun is, of course, inescapable…). Holidays, then – along with shopping, visits to family, a career (if, as in my case, not that of freelance photographer) – are definitely Secondary.
Despite his reservations, I applaud Andrew’s choice of the Q3 to take on holiday – for me the choice remains my Q2. Oh, I leave the Ms and their lenses – film and digital – for those rarer, but most blessed of all, Primary occasions.
