Jaron, I don't know if you really wanna lug a camera bag around with you, then when u decide something is worth photographing, you have to put ur bag down, get ur camera out, put the lens on, and by the time you have done all that, what you were going to take a photo of has flown away, or moved.

If its for travel purpose's maybe a high end point and shoot will be sufficient. That way its small enough to carry on you at all times and quick to "whip out"

I don't know about which one to get, but im sure the guy at QCS does or someone else on here...
