I rented a 2nd one from Canon Canada CPS. I firmly believe you need two identical camera bodies for trips like this for efficiency.

Yeah, I'm saving for it. Safe travels.Canon Rumors said:dslrdummy said:I'd be interested to hear how much use you get from the Q given all your other gear.
I'll have a day in Arusha for some street and market stuff, which it will get used for. It will get used a fair bit, being that it's my favourite camera ever. I love 28mm.

<p>The quality of cell coverage may be lacking or erratic and as such I’ve decided to disconnect from the site while I’m away, I haven’t had an actual vacation from Canon Rumors in the over 10 years that the site has existed. I’m not sure I want to, but I’ll give it a go.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.canonnews.com/">Richard from Canon News</a> has been gracious enough to help keep the site content coming. He has free reign to post whatever he wants, so the site could take a bit of a turn while I’m off the grid, and I think that’ll work out just fine.</p>
<p>Be nice to Richard. As for the forum, our terrific forum administrators will keep doing what they do.</p>
<p>I’ll see you when I see you.</p>
<p>Oh, this is a gear site, so here’s the gear I’m bringing. Everyone has opinions of what to bring, but based on past experiences, this should do me just fine. I still may axe bringing one of the wide angle zooms.</p>

I'm in your camp about the necessity for two identical bodies, and ones with which you're familiar. There's all too great a chance to miss THE shot of the trip when you're fumbling with controls.Canon Rumors said:I rented a 2nd one from Canon Canada CPS.

You are bringing all that gear and not something like the Sigma 14mm 1.8. Great place for stars and milkyway photos. Tanzania is amazingly beautiful. Mobile coverage might surprise you. It's extending all the time.

The Sofort (Instax) will get used daily for a little project I'll be doing with it.
