[QUOTE="Deleted, post: 355784, member: 29753"] Battery pack or 2? That's the second suggestion for that so I must consider it carefully. How many shots can I take on a battery? An Internet search suggest I can get 1200 shots on 1 battery, or is there some other reason I need a spare? I can buy a CF card reader. The issue is that the laptop only has an 80gb drive, but including the operating system & applications. There's probably only about 60gb available. I have no PP applications on the laptop. I can't afford a flash yet & won't have the space. My plans are to get the R1C1 flash kit for macro & close-up work. There's also a weight issue for the plane. Interested about the shoulder strap. However I will also have the small bag which will be necessary due to the likelihood of rain. I'm thinking that if I'm running around with the camera for a while I will be able to figure out which sort of strap I would like, maybe a Blackrapid RS Sport &/or a Blackrapid wrist strap. [/QUOTE]
