I never travel without a backup. Or a backup for the backup. Back-up #1 will be the M6 - but I can't stand the thought of scanning all that film, so backup #2 will be a Canon G6 - but it is so slow, and noisy above ISO 200, that back-up #3 will be the Fuji F11 - which is so small that it is lost on one of my pockets and I have not been able to find it for a week. With all the backup batteries and chargers, I also need a backup for my back. -- Clive http://www.clive.moss.net/blog/ on 3/26/2007 4:21 PM Tina Manley said the following: ... > My M8 experience, mine and two loaners, has been perfect.
