Good advice. I always have my 5D2.
I've gotten to where I don't keep a lot of my camera equipment in the car. The heat of summer can be brutal on batteries and capacitors, and unless I'm planning on using it, I don't carry it. Come to think about it, I've never had a deer write me a check, so I'm not as compelled to be ready at a moment's notice... :-)
Oh, I wouldn
Haha that sounds familiar Denise[:D] But sometimes it's also nice to just watch and enjoy[;)]

The problem is that when I would do it, I would only take 1 lens. And I bet every time I would spot something amazing to take a photo off...it would require one of my other lenses. That's how it works for me [A]

But, relevant to the previous post, thesummerJazz concert series started up last week. My two kids were outnumbered by the three cameras - I brought the 5DII (with 24-105mm and 70-200mm), the S95, and the Vixia HF M41 camcorder.
Not to completely derail this thread, but how
Maybe you should get a T3 in every color to match your outfits?
I would love to bring my camera with me to and from work, But, I can

Frankly, I really wish there was a TDP-like site that offered Bryan-quality comparisons of Canon camcorders!!
As it was, I made my decision based mainly on spec - the HF M41 seemed most analogous to the 5DII in some ways, i.e. it uses the same sensor models as which cost substantially more, and the added features weren't compelling for my limited experience with video. Based on specs, I liked the fact that is does not have extra pixel density (which is often included for higher MP still photos, but I've got that well-covered), so the pixel sizes are as large as possible for HD video capture with that overall sensor size.
Not sure if that helps, but so far, I'm happy with it!

Thanks for the input, John...that does help. I like the thought process that went into picking that particular one.. <Sigh> something else to add to my list. :)
And Bob, I would never leave my camera in the car, specially a hot car. I don't even leave my tennis racquets. [:$]
Sean: I'll look into it. Unlike the stats built up in Lightroom, I don't have a good capture of what colors I predominantly wear that may match the T3i colors. :)
