I've been carrying digital cameras all over the world since
2002. They're a far sight easier to manage, what with airport
xray machines, etc, than film was. The *istD/DS will do a
splendid job as they are light, compact, and the lenses are
compact as well. 

> BTW What would you recommend as a good Mac-compatible scanner?

For a film scanner, I use a (now getting old) Minolta Scan Dual
II from 2000. It does an excellent job. The current model
(Konica Minolta Scan Dual IV) is faster, higher resolution, and
costs under $275 in the US. Both Konica MInolta and Nikon make
excellent higher-end scanners as well. 

For flat art and large negatives, I use an (also now ancient)
Epson 2450. Extremely good results for the money. 

One suggestion: I use VueScan to drive all my scanning, I never
even install the manufacturers' software. It's the best all
around scanning application for Mac OS X in my opinion and
drives a huge number of scanners. I would only buy scanners that
VueScan can drive. See the website for more information:
