None of those suitable for travel unless you don't mind the weight.

I'd go with either the M50 or 200D.

The 200D is Compact and 453g only,

The 70D on the other hand is semi-pro level 675g in weight, almost 50% additional weight there for body alone.

Is there a reason why you're looking at DSLR?

Because if I were to travel and need a camera I'd go with Sony RX100 Mk III used unit for under RM 2k. biggrin.gif

Opt for a mirrorless instead. It's a lot lighter

Get a mirrorless. It'll basically function like a DSLR and you can use DSLR lenses and all types of lenses.

If you have to buy canon go with Canon EOS M50 or Canon EOS M6 (Used). Both are pretty great.

If you wanna go full frame mirrorless go with any of Sony A7 series. (Though lenses and everything will be more expensive in this route. Might as well go with Canon personally)

Get Sony a6000 (or a6300 /6500 if u have budget) and couple of batteries. I would advice sticking with the kit lens cause it does its job. If u want bokeh, couple with 50mm, 35mm or sigma 30mm f1. 4 primes will do fine.

Canon M50 is also good choice but from the looks of Canon new FF mirror less with different mount, feels like M50 mount going to be killed.

I'm using an EOS M6. Get yourself a 50mm f1.8 EF lens. Then 22mm f2.0 lens EF-M lens (most versatile lens). These 2 lenses will cover 80% of all you wanna shoot and wont break the bank. If you wish to shoot architecture go with any 15mm lens and below. Later if you wish to take photos of birds, sports, etc you can get a telephoto.

As a photographer thats going to be difficult. However if you really want only 1 lens then Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 is your best bet. However expect it to be chunky and heavy

And if all you want is a lot of bokeh, street photography, portraiture then Sigma 18-35mm will be pretty great. Its an amazing lens that is basically a combination of wide prime lenses (big however).

Be aware however that expecting one all-round lens will probably make the lens heavy and expensive. Compared to buying many cheap lenses (lighter individually and you save cash and can resell easier). In the end though if you want the most portable versatile prime lens (fixed focal length) get the Canon 22mm EF-M F2.0 lens (only for mirrorless). it can fit your mirrorless camera into your pocket

What is your budget & what kind of usage for the DSLR?
Mirrorless is one of the option, but the only issue is low battery life.
