Guys,
Was just wondering, when you go travelling and say doing sight seeing, walking around the streets (be it day or night), say if i've my blackrapid, would you guys use it while walking down the streets? (am using 50D gripped w say a 24-105). Any precautions? As i don't use any neckstraps (still in box), its either the blackrapid or just the handstrap for me.

Don't ever try your method of carrying a camera in Italy, it WILL be stolen inside a few minutes. The thieves there are thick as flies and unbelievably brazen and quick.
It's not that scary la, but that said, it's always better to be safe than sorry. The horror stories that I've read on Clubsnap made me a lot more alert when I was there.
My last vacation (incidentally it was italy):
- D40X
- Tokina 12-24/4
- Nikkor 60/2.8
- Nikkor 16-85/3.5-5.6
- SB800
- SU800
- GND
- Camera bag
- Tripod
- Extra batt
- 2x 4GB SD card
- Thinkpad X41
- Harddisk
My next vacation (undecided):
- F6
- Nikkor 85/1.4
- Nikkor 60/2.8
- Tokina 12-24/4 (usable from ~18mm)
- Spare CR123A batts
- Camera bag
- Rolls and rolls of Tri-X 400 + Ektar 100
- Maybe SB800 + SU800 as well
* Try to pack as light as possible
* Digital cameras tend to travel well
* Protect your equipment with a durable case
* Youll want to bring a light and sturdy tripod
Most people think of using a camera when traveling, and many photographers trace their obsession with photography to the moment they became intrigued by shots they had taken when traveling or on vacation.

I'm thinking of the following for my upcoming trip to China and Russia,
5d

70-200 4L IS (may not want to lug it)
50 1.8
Tamron 90
Tripod
GNDs
NDs
CPL
Shutter Release ( or not )
And most importantly, Plastic Rimmed Glasses to prevent freezing my Rims to my nose/forehead/wherever.
Still wondering what wideangle to get for scenery shots... zz..

For a couple of days in Kuching, Sarawak:
D700
28-70mm ƒ3.5-4.5
8GB Ducati CF
...in one of those funny and ill-fitting neoprene cases...
2 batteries (D700)
charger
SB-400 (juiced by Energizer L91)
No tripod this time around. I usually take one along when it's a road trip and I have wheels.

Wow everyone is so pro and bring many many lenses! But nobody mentioned the good old camera phone. One time I went Bangkok, brought my Oly E500 with kit lens, but forgot battery charger (><) so in the end most pictures were taken with my Sony Ericsson K710 or 770 or something like that. Zzzz.
For general overseas with family.
