I kind of like the idea of spending a 10K vacation reviewing images through the back of the camera. Sure beats taking in the sights. It would really be nice to lug a laptop along so I could treak images up on Photoshop and email them to friends before I return. We used to worry about which lenses to carry, now we need to organize our cables and modems for easy transport...But do we have enough batteries for all this fun?
