If it was me I would either take the one you have or if it is an older model look at one of the new Suoerzooms.

I have a DSLR and a Panasonic DMC-FZ27 which is at least 5 years old and still works great. It will shoot RAW and JPEG files, has a nice zoom and is not to large. It is getting old and there are several newer models out there that are very nice and do very well with video.

On our Transatlantic crossing we did four extra days in Rome and it was nice to be able to keep the camera inside of my PacSafe bag when not taking pictures since it was not to large. Several of the Med stops are loaded with pick pockets and to me having my $3000.00 camera hanging off of me was to tempting to the thief's.

If you don't have a PacSafe bag I would highly recommend one. They are very secure with locking zippers, steel cables in the strap and a steel mesh lining so the bag cannot be sliced open while you are on a crowded bus or street. My wife got one that looked like a regular purse and I got a sling bag backpack type. Very easy to get into as it only has one strap and you slide it to your front to open.

Enjoy your trip it is a wonderful place, minus the pickpockets!
