I too have recently acquired a Lowepro Omni Traveler. My wife and I are off for a tour to Egypt in two weeks time and all my other bags seemed either too big, or too small.... echoes of the Goldilock story <G>
In the Omni Traveler I'm taking: *istDS F 70-2010mm DA 18-55mm M 50m F1.7 Optio 33L (for my wife's use) PD7X (with 40Gb) Power supply for PD7X & plug adapter Pentax 8x20 binoculars 3 sets of rechargeable NIMHs 1 set of CR-3Vs (emergency use) Various odds & ends (filters, etc) The whole kit weighs in at 10lbs, fits comfortably on my shoulder, and will also be my carry-on luggage. Seems like a reasonable compromise with regard to weight, size and equipment needs. This is my first 'digital' trip so I'm somewhat nervous....hopefully all will be well, and I'll have some wonderful images to share at the end of the month. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fred Widall, Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.ist.uwaterloo.ca/~fwwidall Images: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fwwidall/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
