This sounds as if it came out of rec.guns. Today on the way home in south
east PA there was a spectacular sunset and I mean spectacular and I found myself wishing that I had one of my cameras with me. I don't carry one with me but after today and thinking about it I'm gonna start keeping my Nikon 8700 in my car just for occaisions like this evening. And taking the DSLR when I'm image hunting by design. what do the rest of you folks do? Dave |

And taking the DSLR when I'm image hunting by design. what do the rest of you folks do? Well, I normally use some kind of off-body carry rig, like a shoulder bag or something, for the camera. I don't advocate that approach for a gun :-). My Fuji F11 lives in my shoulder bag pretty much full-time, so I generally have it with me. The weather up here (Minnesota), both summer and winter, leaves me not liking the idea of leaving a camera sitting in the car. |

Dave I just bought a ultracompact P&S (SD700is) for this very reason - so that I can have it on me most of the time - Just in case. I hate missing great opportunities for a picture and it has happened more than once before. Bates....... |

According to Deputy Dog :
This sounds as if it came out of rec.guns. Today on the way home in south east PA there was a spectacular sunset and I mean spectacular and I found myself wishing that I had one of my cameras with me. I don't carry one with me but after today and thinking about it I'm gonna start keeping my Nikon 8700 in my car just for occaisions like this evening. And taking the DSLR when I'm image hunting by design. what do the rest of you folks do? I toss the strap for my D70 over my shoulder whenever I leave the house -- with whichever lens is on it at the moment -- usually the 35-135mm, but sometimes the 18-70mm. If I'm expecting particularly low light, I may switch out whichever lens for the 50mm f1.4 instead. On some occasions, I will take a second lens along. If I am going specifically to take photos, I will take along the bag full of lenses -- and wish for a caddy. :-) Enjoy, DoN. -- Email: | Voice (all times): (703) 938-4564 (too) near Washington D.C. | http://www.d-and-d.com/dnichols/DoN.html --- Black Holes are where God is dividing by zero --- |

I just got a Fuji F30. Size of a pack of cigs, battery life is excellent,
500-odd exposures on a 2Gb card. Excellent low light performance. I keep it in my pocket at all times. Toby "Deputy Dog" wrote in message news:7Wdrh.4273$32.3612@trndny09...

I assume that temeperature extremes are not nearly as important with DIGITAL as they are with FILM equipment. That is, of course, keeping in mind the liklihood of condensation if bringing the camera into a warm space when it is very cold. -- JR |
