Thanks Fred,
I'm pretty much all kitted out now, I resisted the temptation to buy a
Sigma 200/2.8 or the DA16-45.
istDS, DA18-55, Tamron 70-300, A50/1.4 (just picked this one up for 130$cdn)
2 1G SD cards, and a 30G iPod video.
3 sets of rechargable AAs, plus a backup set of the CRV3s
dual-vo
rd hotel shower-caps.
Gee... It's already 14 years since my study trip to Zambia and Malawi...
I will need to go back some time.

Do I really want to do this? You've gotta be kidding, I've wanted to do

I did a two week tour of Egypt back in July. I took my *istDS,
DA18-55mm, F70-210mm, and an M50mm F1.7. I had a 1Gb SD card in the
camera and took along my PD7X (40Gb) portable drive, and three spare
