Personally, I have concluded that for traveling my bulky film cameras are too much of a hassle for things beyone road trips, so I am bringing just one digital body, three lenses and various other supporting characters (external HD, memory cards, etc)Jasminehttp://www.thedailyfrolic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282778235460166021.post-90289216559268898222012-03-06T15:47:56.534-05:002012-03-06T15:47:56.534-05:00I hope he gets the Canon G12.

The other model looks good, too (and small).<br /><br />My only absolute essentials are my D300 and my 50mm 1.4 & 35mm 1.8...and I suppose my 85mm 1.8, too. And then I'll usually bring my 20mm 2.8, too. Even though my long zoom is a great lens, I never bring it along unless I know I will need it (just because of how heavy it makes my camera bag). Oh and for trips, I use my Domke shoulder bag. It's the best.<br /><br />Your list looks good though. It's hard to decide what to bring because you don't want to leave anything important behind but if your bag is too heavy, that's definitely going to be an issue. Packing gear is such a tricky thing. I'm already struggling with what to bring to a 4-day (camping) music festival.Nikkinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282778235460166021.post-23357847255411097502012-03-06T13:41:38.720-05:002012-03-06T13:41:38.720-05:00So so so exciting...

Can't give you any advice on travel though I've never left the country, or even flown anywhere with photo gear, but I can't wait to see your pictures!Hollyhttp://hollycromerphoto.blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282778235460166021.post-39299600444688050622012-03-06T11:50:27.208-05:002012-03-06T11:50:27.208-05:00I think you've got it about right.

I'll be traveling later this month and am planning on taking the Hasselblad or Yashica Mat, Leica M6 with a wide lens, and a Dslr for video and people snaps. I like the idea of the superheadz... Might have to get one of those!Micah McCoyhttp://micahmccoy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282778235460166021.post-31881753614892891582012-03-06T11:27:44.011-05:002012-03-06T11:27:44.011-05:00As a carry kit, i've been doing a Leica M and ...As a carry kit, i've been doing a Leica M and a single lens; mostly a normal (50mm or 40mm). Just around my neck at all times, through all conditions.<br />I generally shy away from camera bags too, but that was mostly since I had no other gear to carry, but I can see how it may become bothersome on the shoulders.<br /><br />The UW&S is a fantastic camera that I think is all you need for a wide. Unless you're doing night photography! I'd probably carry just this for wide shots, adds character and sharp when it needs to be.<br /><br />As for a digital compact, my vote goes for the S100, although not much different from the S90 (cheaper too now!) produces great images.<br />I'm a fan of the Ricoh GRD series myself, but they can be pricey and have no such seals for the lens if you stick it in your pocket!!<br /><br />I think your selection for the D7000 is good; the ranges are covered for all what you'd want to capture, and the TLR/Med format is what I would do too; if I had a MF camera handy.<br /><br />Have lots of fun and take many photos!lamluxhttp://lamlux.netnoreply@blogger.com
