Do you have travel insurance for your kit?

Excellent advice.

Also, don't sell that 18-200 before you go.

Make sure you report back. We're going to China in July and will be interested in your experiences.

Wow, 10 days in China, what a great holiday!
Just take plenty of storage and don't sleep for 10 days so you get the maximum amount of time shooting :)

I am keeping the 18-200, I guess i should take that out of my signature. :rolleyes:

Be prepared to process out a lot of smog from your shots. My parents went last fall and brought home some very interesting shots -- unfortunately the smog really made it tough to see everything they'd captured. You might want to look for haze/smog processing tips now to see if there are any recommendations about exposures to keep in mind in advance.

Thanks for all of the posts so far, the thing that I am really worried about is getting my settings wrong, i would like to see myself as a most of the time Manual shooter, but there will always be that few with the exposure wrong, any tips on that our should I just go to the green box.:confused:

Go pick up a copy of "Understanding Exposure". You'll be able to read it a few times on the way over. :)
