For an amateur, carrying around two 10d bodies would really put a damper on a vacation. But having something like an EOS 1000S back at the hotel might be nice. You can always buy film in a pinch. I'd just 'have' to have my 100-400L IS and my 20-35 with me and the 10d. I think that'd do me fine for an amateur vacation. Of course the Imagetank and battery charger can stay at the hotel too. I carry two 512 MB CF cards and two batteries at all times anyway. That's about it for me. -- Jim Davis, Nature Photography http://jimdavis.oberro.com/ Standard Poodles for fun BMW motorcycle for pleasure * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
