Bruce, That is pretty good advice. Actually, the Hawaii trip is more of a MF trip, i.e. no kids. Disneyworld would be the AF trip. I think in the end, for my shooting, the focal length will be just fine (starting out at 36mm) for a digital SLR. I'm just so tired of the time delay, wasted photos, etc. with film. Digital is the future! Especially seeing the enlargement capabilities of a 6MP digital SLR.
