RE: [Texascavers] camera questions
Guys, Thanks for the advice, I ended up getting a Canon T3i and I'm real happy with it. Used it for a road trip from Oregon, down the California Coast, through S.F., to Yosemite, Mono Lake, Bishop, Death Valley, to Vegas and on to Flagstaff were we left Aspen. Got it from BH Photo and they delivered it in time for the trip. Just bought the camera body as I already had the lens. Thanks for all the advice. Geary From: George D.

Re: [Texascavers] camera questions
Sounds like it is now a caving camera (if it still works). Then either buy a better cave camera (like one of the new waterproof Pentax cameras, my 4-year old Pentax is a W-60), or upgrade your Canon to a newer one for probably cheaper than the repair, or both, and then insure the cameras under an itemized list attached to your home owners policy. - Pete On Aug 10, 2012, at 12:07 PM, Geary Schindel wrote: Folks, I have (had) a Canon EOS Rebel XT digital (8 mg) camera. The camera bag rolled out of the car and fell on its head at convention and now the LCD screen doesn’t function (the one with all the camera data, not the screen which shows the picture).

Re: [Texascavers] camera questions
What's the point of insuring the camera under one's homeowner's policy? So I can get insurance to pay for the repairs next time it falls out of the car and breaks?

Re: [Texascavers] camera questions
What's the point of insuring the camera under one's homeowner's policy? So I can get insurance to pay for the repairs next time it falls out of the car and breaks?

Re: [Texascavers] camera questions
No, it's for when someone breaks into your car and steals most of your camera gear just before leaving on a photo vacation (to caves) you have already paid for. - Pete On Aug 10, 2012, at 12:31 PM, Lyndon Tiu wrote: What's the point of insuring the camera under one's homeowner's policy?

Re: [Texascavers] camera questions
Only one. [http://www.bhphotovideo.com/] Others may have better prices, but these guys have the stock and when your card is charged it means you will get your stuff in a few days. I have been buying from them for several decades. Almost all the others I have considered were liars, and probably crooks. I am sure there are many other good ones out there, but follow your friends recommendations. - Pete On Aug 10, 2012, at 12:29 PM, Geary Schindel wrote: Pete, Thanks, have any recommendations on places to buy and not buy cameras on the web.

Re: [Texascavers] camera questions
This might be the part you're looking for on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canon-350D-Rebel-XT-LCD-W-Back-light-Buttons-Digital-Camera-Repair-Part-/320899055921?pt=Digital_Camera_Accessorieshash=item4ab7130131#ht_500wt_1180 The latest Rebel in the family is the 4ti. You might want to look for a bargain on the 2ti (which I think is going away) or the 3ti (which is hanging around for a while). These newer Rebels are 18MP, which you might find is decent step up.
