Off to the Maldives.
I'm off to the Maldives in just over a week.
I've my D50 with kit 18-55 & 55-200, circular polarising and UV filters, two batteries and my Creative Vision:M to back up my two 2Gb SD cards to. I'm strictly amateur but would like to know if there's anything else I should be taking with me to make the absolute most of this once in a lifetime holiday (though it's actually Honeymoon and my second one at that) Any advice also would be much appreciated. Cheers Doc

I find modern cameras to be tremendously fragile and unreliable - especially when they are *really* needed. -- Jeff R.

More memory cards. You may be too busy to download. You only have one backup. That means after you offload a card and re-use it, you have no backup; only a primary copy. Cards are really cheap. Roger
