Hi Grethe, The 3 is a good camera that should cause you no problems. I have one that I use as a back up, as well as for travel trips on my motorbikes - on road and off road. I generally carry the body + 28 -135IS + 20/2.8 + flash in a backpack and have done some pretty rugged trips in tough terrrain and conditions. None of the gear has let me down at all. My only beef with the 3 is that you cannot trust the battery check led at all and it has cost me a few photos over the years. The one in the 1v is a far better proposition. I don't see why any of your other gear wouldn't work with the 3 but I will leave a more definitive answer to the propeller heads in the group :^) Regards, Tim www.timmunro.com.au * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
