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 B&H 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.

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.

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.
