M9 and ?

Well, I appreciate all the advice. The trip is several months away so who knows what my equipment mix will be then. As much as I hate traveling with a mix of digital and film, I am thinking my M9 and M2 with 21/35/90.

Digital has lots of advantages when traveling. I will be gone 6 months to a year and my family would like to see some of the photos. I do not know if the M9 is more fragile then a film camera but having a backup makes sense (could be purchased on the road) but the M2 is my favorite Leica.

I am planning on taking everything I need for a year in a medium size backpack so the obsession with weight and cube.

In which case, you already have enough with the M9/M2 plus 21/35/90. What more did you think you needed, and why?

I am traveling around the world starting this fall. I may take my M9 and an M2, perhaps just two M2's or the M9 solo. However, I would not mind taking a small, advanced digital like the Canon S120 (had the S90 and think the S120 is the latest version).

Do not really follow the small digital market. What else would you suggest? I just sold my X100 and do not really want to spend more then $500. I would like a fast lens and zoom range is not so important.

RX100 any flavor.
