Good luck on your tour Pattie. Instead of a DSLR, consider a Powershot to tide you by. A G5 would be right on the (not bad) money for you. Sand and cameras do not mix, especially DSLRs...... best, Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _____________________________ * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
