Epson P3000 is around $800 plus while the P5000 is $1100 plus ... :sweat: This Epson is on eof the best viewer i have ever seen so far ...

Is it really good to have one to carry around ? Not for me ... I do not travel at all & spent most of my time on this island . :P

bro, CompactDrive PD70X with 40gb hdd at $299 two years ago from eastgear at peninsula plaza. however this one is a simple plug and copy set up, no viewer. serves my needs to backup my cards, as i don't need (or have the energy :lol: ) to review when on a trip.

btw, crumpler bags are nice and the straps are by far the most comfortable! but yes, prices are a dampener... imho these bags hug the bodyline better but don't offer the side impact protection that the more rigid and bulkier-looking lowepros offer. a trade-off i guess... and btw the lowepros mostly come with raincovers (look out for AW tag to the model name - all-weather) which can come in very handy in sudden downpours.

Reminder again to bring along Cleaning Kits like Micro Fibre Cloths , Lenspen , Lens Tissue , Blower etc ... Unless you got 2 bodies & no need to change lenses in between anywhere .

Among the things listed, theres one thing you forget.

BATTERY PACK CHARGER

3 weeks you go no battery charger. Later use duracell batteries.

And don't forget to get a multi-purpose plug converter.
Also no point you bring your charger in the end you still can't plug into the socket.

lol! thanks for the heads up, almost forgot that i may need to get another battery pack :P (another ~$100 flying away.... sony....ex....$$$....argh...)

anyway, just curious, how useful is a macro lens for travelling? i mean how OFTEN would you actually reach out to swap into a macro lens for shooting micro micro things in places with big big fantastic view?
