Dennis Schuchman asked about carrying gear whilst climbing ... I suggest you try the Tamrac website at http://www.tamrac.com <http://www.tamrac.com> . They offer a harness which straps over the shoulders and around the chest. The piece which goes around the chest has a section made of neoprene with a hole for the lens to poke through. This holds the camera against your body, when you want to take a picture you simply slip it (the camera) out of the hole. The shoulder straps still attached to the camera prevent dropping it. I have successfully used this device in situations similar to the one you mentioned i.e. trekking and climbing. Cheers, Andy Dr. Andrew A.
