I don't want to check my camera bag.

Answer
Yes, you can. In fact I traveled from Phoenix to San Francisco a couple of weeks ago to a Canon camera conferece. In my camera bag I was carrying a Canon 5d mkii, a Canon 180mm Macro lens, and a Canon 24-70mm 2.8 lens. A grand total of around $6000 in equipment. Never once did security give me any trouble in either direction to or from SF. In SF they had signs posted saying that the x-rays are safe for digital cameras, and the only issue occording to the signs is that x-rays may degrade high ISO film. If I remember right ISO film of greater than 400 may cause problems.

sagara

mostly used for 1 night hikes with a huge camera (4x5 camera + lens + accessories = 6 kg)

im hoping to modify a hiking bag so that i can carry essentials too, other than my camera.

The bag should have some kind of hiking pole strap bigenough for my tripod if need bee (about the size of 3 hiking poles)

sleepingbag + tent + food + water

Answer
If you mean as checked luggage then none of that will be a problem.

If you mean as carry-on, the largest bag you can take would be about the size of a small backpack.

Not all airlines have the same baggage policies, but this is typical:

I have a canon rebel Xsi and I want to upgrade my camera.?

best canon 7d lens for portraits image

I have a EF 23=70mm f/2.8L lens. I am not a professional I just enjoy taking pictures. I want to take portrait pictures of my grand kids and outdoor flowers and birds and such. I have looked at canon 7D and 5D mark II. What is the best camera for my needs. I want my pictures to look good.

Answer
Probably not what you want to hear, but....IMO, photography is roughly 70% photographer skill/experience, 20% lens quality, and 10% camera body.

The XSi is a decent camera and you have a nice lens on it. What is it that you are not happy with on the photos? Could you post some samples on Flickr or someplace? That way the people here might be able to offer some good advice to help.

Have you taken any photography classes? How long have you been using this camera? On auto or manual?

Here is my current gear, Canon 7d, 24-105L, 580ex II, 2 flex 5ttl, 24x24 softbox/stand. I am looking for a portrait lens. Should I go with the 70-200mm 2.8 II , 85mm 1.2, 85mm 1.8, 50mm 1.4, 50mm 1.2 ?

Thanks

Answer
50mm 1.2 stopped down to 1.8 it gives minimal optical distortion at this focal length and has ud elements to reduce aberrations. Also use slow shutter speed like 1/40
