For travelling purposes definately the 24-105. On FF it provides a very good range and it's also lighter + has IS.

But for indoors the 24-70 F2.8 might be a better choice. Though the 24-105 is also usable indoors  laugh.gif

Main usage will be shooting in my house for my son.
I travel only about twice a year.
24-105 can shoot indoor. I'm using it now. Just wonder 24-70 can make big different or not. I'm thinking whether to change or not.

Hmm in that case the F2.8 might be more useful for you. Just be prepared for the extra weight and lack of IS  laugh.gif

Tested my 24-105 and my friend's 24-70 twice. The 24-70 pictures turn out brighter.
Sharpness and contrast about the same.
I think i'll just keep the 24-105. Maybe will get a 16-35. Can shoot portraits and landscape both.
