Back up cam

[Photo Lovin]

This is to find out what kind of camera you use as a back up camera. It might also help if you tell what your primary camera is as well as what you use them to take pics of.

I have a Canon SD1000 as a last-ditch effort

See signature........Primaries and backup are EOS MKII's. Makes it easy to figure out settings if the cameras are the same. I believe in the KISS Method (Keep it simple stupid).
W. Eugene Smith, used Minolta cameras for color and Pentaxes for b & W. To m, the light meters systems were different in each camera and sounded confusing, but what the hell do I know

When my Canon 40D arrives it will become my primary and my current Rebel XTi will become secondary. All accessories will be interchangeable.

How do I explain the need for a back up camera so soon after I got the main one? Hmm...

If you are shooting professionally then there is no need for explanation. If you aren't shooting professionally then as many people do, they out grow their current camera and it automatically becomes a "back-up" when they upgrade.

Dont think of it so much as a "backup" as a "Ensure I get Everything of the Kids/Dog/Family Insurance Policy thingy"
