Before the theft I was thinking about the EOS 5D, (although I don't like the fact that it lack a built in flash . I do like the X1 factor that retain the wide angle lenses focal distance. )
Now, again, I have fears as described before. Should I go with 30D ?
What do you guys think about a good combo for a traveler ?

there is no doubt Canon makes a decent camera but I'm partial to Nikon. The recently introduced D200, which I've just upgraded to, is an awesome piece of equipment at almost half the price of the 5D. Here's a side-by-side comparison of the two cameras.

     here's Ken Rockwell's review of the D200

this camera with the newly introduced Nikon18-200 VR (which I have on order) is, to my mind, the absolute perfect travel combo. Here's Ken's take on the 18-200

     good luck on your search, Pini
