hmm looking into more detail I could always get one of these bags. They are only £35 delivered and will allow me to carry other items as well.Quote:

Your right that a SLR may be a hassle but the type of picture you can take always outweighs the problems I find.
No worries on the insurance front all covered across the world : )
those bags are great, loads of room in them...
I have a similar problem. I have my really old 4MP kodak, a 3MP tiny practika thing, and my 400D and i cant decide what to take with me! I'm off to Gran Canaria, we're hiring a car to explore the island, but i'm hoping to spend a fair bit of time at the pool, and don't fancy leaving my SLR in the apartment, or having it down at the pool, but if i go exploring, i'll obv. want to take some decent photos!
*dilemma*
My other option is to spend a few pennies and buy a new compact, that's a bit more up to date than my kodak..... I'd have to lie to the boy shape about price though.... he just doesn't understand my addiction to cameras....
*decisions*
It also depends what sort of holiday you are taking....
I've just picked up the IXUS 960 (it's out) :)

Lets not get ahead of ourselves, they certainly have a strong showing in the compact arena, but I much prefer Nikon DSLRs!Quote:

My guess is on the 350D it's about 150 RAW shots per Gb, so depends on how much you shoot per day i think you should have ~4Gb minimum or something to back up the pics
8GB class 6 cards are circa 45 quid now.. not that i've looked ;)
ok, so you've got 8GB of holiday snaps, and you loose the card somehow!
Play.com 17.99 for 2GB SanDisk Extreme III CF! and it somes with a free copy of CaptureOne LE! (least mine did ;))
I like living on the edge me :mrgreen:Quote:

SDHC incidentally, has classifications - the higher the number the better. Class 6 is about the fastest right now (i think).
