I've never understood the idea of carrying a second SLR on your holidays as a....backup. SLRs plus accessories etc are already large enough to carry around on holidays, leave under the sun, watch the sun, have a friend keeping an eye on it while you have a dive etc. Now buying a second SLR body to leave back in the room in case your 'proper' slr gets stolen..... i dont know..... it's more likely for your room to be broken in really... plus you are not making any money from holiday snaps so why the 'backup' . Buy a single-use Kodak film cameras from the nearest supermarket and you'll be fine, spend more time with the people you are on holidays rather than with your camera bag. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
