| Jan 5, 2012 at 18:28 | comment | added | dpollitt | @rfusca - I ended up taking the Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 and Canon 17-55mm f/2.8. I shot 60% with the 10-22, and 40% with the 17-55. 14% of the shots were at the maximum focal length of the 17-55mm. I was very happy with the results. I found only a few occasions where I wished for a long tele or a short wide prime. Overall, I probably wished for a tripod more often then additional lenses, but my travel decisions certainly would not have allowed a regular sized tripod. I also brought a Canon S95 as a pocket camera that I had great results with as well. Thank you all for the recommendations! | |

| May 14, 2011 at 13:25 | comment | added | dpollitt | @JamWheel - You bring up a good point, I guess I thought choosing a 7D over a 5D would allow me to use potentially lighter lenses such as the EF-S line due to the fact that they are only utilizing the center of the glass. | |
| May 14, 2011 at 7:42 | comment | added | JamWheel | Re your 2nd bullet point - the Canon 5D MkII is 10g lighter than the 7D... | |
