Answer

What is the best camera for travel?

A compact APS-C or Micro Four Thirds mirrorless with a single 18–135mm-equivalent zoom covers 90% of travel shots without weighing you down. The Fujifilm X-S20 and OM System OM-5 are the standouts; the Sony RX100 VII is the best pocketable option.

Should I bring two lenses or one?

One do-it-all zoom for the trip, plus maybe a small fast prime if you care about low-light dinners or street portraits.
