The tentative plan at this stage is to be away from Australia for approximately 1 & 1/2 years. I want as less stress as possible. A pocket camera for me is just less worry.
2/ My biggest criticism of phones are using them in sunlight; I need a viewfinder regardless of its quality and as mentioned I like taking photos.
My biggest compromise to travel is that I don’t have much money left for that. Being a fixed income old guy now, I keep the travel to Friends & sisters homes on the other side of the continent and have become somewhat of a cheap couch surfer…

I get you on the liking to take photos & having a viewfinder, that’s something no phone can take away.. Hope your plans turn out, I always find travel is a great educator and the camera just records the memories.

Best for a high view of all of Manhattan. The best part is you can reserve your tickets in advance so could schedule an evening sunset or morning sunrise. We got up there just before noon and there was some snow left from the overnight flurries. What a crazy city to visit.
