A long time ago , 1994 I think, When I got back into photography I
bought a Canon A2e but I kept my OM1-MD and OM1-N just for backup.
Having a backup camera was something taught to me by members of the
club I was in when I got started in photography. One day I bought
an EOS-3 and kept the A2e. When my son returned from Afghanistan I took both cameras, my flash and a borrowed flash just to make sure I wouldn't miss anything. Having worked for IBM I wasn't in a hurry to jump into digital photography. There was something more relaxing in taking a roll of film to the lab and sitting back with the prints and a pepsi. I finally bought an EOS 20-D but kept the EOS-3. Then I bought an EOS-50D but kept the -3 and the -20-D. A year ago I bought an EOS-5D MK II and gave the 20-D to my grand son. I still have the -3. When I'm going to shoot something important, or a once in a lifetime event I always take the 5D and the 50-D as Jan suggested. A backup camera body is like insurance, better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. This is true no matter what climate you'll be in, cold or hot....... Bob --
