I've decided to give new technology a try with respect to my camera for the trip.  Friends have raved about the new mirrorless cameras, especially the Fujifilm, XT series.  So, when the latest version, the XT2 hit the market yesterday, I took the plunge.

The camera boasts all of the major features of a DSLR (Like my Canon 5D Mark II), but in a more compact form.  From my point of view, I''ll be carrying 40 pounds less gear, and be much more mobile in Italy.  I'll shoot enough in the next few weeks to prove the picture quality before leaving, and hopefully the images I post here will please you.
