I get a lot of use out of my Canon A540. I took it to Disney this past November and left the DSLR at home. I wanted to be attentive to my peeps and the experience without getting sucked into 'photographer zone'.

Was my first digital camera but bought that particular model because of the underwater mode. Bought the underwater housing to fit that model to use when I'm out freedive spearfishing. I'm astounded at the quality of images it produces when underwater. Awesome little set up !!! - 7D & battery grip, 40D & battery grip, 17-55mm 2.8, 100-400mm L IS USM, Manfrotto 055 & 488 RC2, 3 (55mm) ext tubes.

I had an A70 and now an A95. I am going to pick up a new P&S that can fit in my pocket as a carry around when I can't tote the DSLR.

I missed the shot, I need to get a longer lens for my rebel...
