Just curious on what type of camera everyone will be using to document the holiday parties. Obviously a SLR with it's array of add-ons can be the most versatile, creative, and deliver the best shots, but sometimes convenience of a compact or P/S is just so much easier. So what are you planing to use?

Me, I plan on using my 40D as the family is pretty much expecting me to be the family archiver. As such, they are leaving their cameras behind or put away and leave the picture taking to me. Thats alright with me thing. I like seeing the day throught the tunnel of a viewfinder.

Not sure why, but call me JJ.

XT - most likely for a lot of it. Xmas morning, Canon S1 IS as it records video.

I'll use my XT because it will be the first Christmas since I got it. I'll have my 18-55 on it since it's the widest angle lens I have and the lighting probably shouldn't be much trouble.
