My photographic gear when touring is kept very simple.
I always carry two cameras - a Panasonic Lumix TZ10 which fits easily in the hand for general snaps and which has a handy zoom feature plus a Fujifilm S9500 with inbuilt 28-300mm lens as well as two different cards on board making number of shots no problem.
Each camera has rechargeable batteries and I carry an extra set and the relative chargers, both multi-voltage so no worries worldwide.
Another item I carry is a Monopod (tripods are too messy to carry) for set shots in special circumstances so no shaking of the shot. If I am going to be doing any caving I carry a special flash for the Fuji that is capable of 90 feet range. Neither camera has interchangeable lens and this is a bonus as I don't have to worry about dust intrusion.
Both cameras are suitable for video but the Fuji is better as it has more capacity having the extra card and more sound capability.
You always have to consider that you don't have the time on tour to compose a shot so keep your gear simple and you will be very pleased with the results.
