I bought a new camera for travel

I got tired of the bulk & weight of my 50D & 4 lenses when traveling,

I ordered one of these yesterday

I have to agree with you about dragging around a larger DSLR and the associated equipment. I've actually left it all at home just because I didn't want to deal with it wherever I was going. I've been thinking about something small too. Something to use when I'm just taking "snapshots" and not really interested in getting too involved with a "classic" photo.

well if you read the reviews,this does take "classic dslr" quality shots,it has a Zeiss lens,20mp,and a crazy amount of features,

Very nice camera but it doesn't have wifi.

I did a lot of reading & research before I bought this one,everybody is talking about wifi,I just don't see a need for it,for my use.

wifi in a camera is not a must have for me,besides,there are plenty of sd/wifi cards if I do find a use for wifi in a camera,

why is wifi in a camera important to you ? to upload pics to a pc or lt ?

I don't mind uploading from a card or usb cable,

it would take forever to upload 5gb of a days shooting via wifi,

I shoot RAW and the files are pretty large.

I've run my DSLR "tethered" before. Not bad but I only see it as being useful in a studio setup where one person is doing the shooting and another is checking the shot for immediate feedback to the shooter.

ya,I've seen that in reviews,but I don't do much studio shooting with an assistant,

and if I did,it would be with my 50D and one of my good lenses.

Wow, looks great... A bit pricey for a compact, but you get a good size sensor and f1.8..

wifi for me would be too slow. I shoot in RAW and those are large files. It's faster to just stick my card in my card reader and dump what I'm working on into a RAW editor. Tons faster .
