Nice camera, but, how well will it do on the road. The bumpy, angled, ripply, wet, worn, grooved, and of course, hot road. Just curious, as fas as things, other, all the things I'd take on a 3 dayer. I'd buy what else I needed and only what i could either carry or ship home later.
Nice camera though, ride safe all.

So far so good.  I had State Farm insure it before I left FL (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j180/stevewfl/bigthumb.gif)

I have an old Nikon F3 I use for my bike camera.  I like shooting film.

I use a D80 around the house for the grandkids.
