One other thing about point (3): my cruise reminded me of just how bulky and heavy DSLR gear is and how unlikely I am to use it casually. Heck, even the Canon G1X is too heavy for extended holding in the hand for fast point-and-shoot (compared with the Nikon P7100). So maybe a better way of thinking about the time calculation should be, "Would I take this stuff on at least six four-hour expeditions per year?" -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> 'Does it say something about our culture that "academic" is sometimes used as a synonym for "irrelevant"?' --Marc Wilson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
