The reason that I've been avoiding (and maybe others have to) mentioning the GH7 has nothing to do with low light and everything to do with it being as large and heavy as a lot of FF bodies.  If you're willing to go that big, you could also get an EOS R5 or a Z6 III.

100% agree about the size, and when compared to the GH5 the difference in the hand is a lot more than what it looks like in pictures, so it's sort-of deceptively chunky.  By the time you're looking at a GH7 "small camera" territory is so far off you can't even see it in the rear-view mirror!

Perhaps the compromise is that the GH7 has an integrated cooling fan whereas neither the R5 nor Z6 III have it, and will be a larger again by the time you add on additional accessories etc.

I don't know if I dare click on that because based on just the thumbnail, I want to go and do it.

Tomorrow.

Ha I dare you. But yes it is very inspiring stuff, have done a fair few bike packing adventures but this is next level

I never have and was going to cycle from UK to India once, but in the end flew and backpacked it.

I do have a few trips planned, but skipping the bike for all of them. Probably…

Ah you should check out his 'One year on a bike' film where he cycled Amsterdam to Singapore. I spent a year in India but mainly on an Enfield motor bike, should have made a film of that, got it on good old mini dv tape somewhere
