I used my old 10D which I
can't seem to part with. I have heard mixed reviews on the 5d but it is
significantly better than the 1D. In the past, I carried 4 lenses which
was a stupid move. All that weight was a killer. The biggest mistake
I made was taking my quantum units with me and ended up with a frozen
shoulder so not doing any of that any more.
Have a wonderful trip, take some
great images and perhaps you will share them with all of us out here who would
like to join you

I totally agree. You have been helpful to me as well and all of us should be savvy enough not to take advantage of your expertise. Been to Tuscany many times and the imagery is like heaven on earth. Are you going full gear?
Last time I took only an Olympus E1, with the standard 4/3 lens, and left the flash and other lenses home (I have to travel carry on all over Europe while I'm there, so devoting a lot of space to camera equipment isn't practical). I'm considering whether to get a Canon 5d before my next trip... not as space concious as the E1, but better than the Canon 1d, at least. Given the almost theatricly retro nature of the new Panasonic SLR for 4/3 system is, I won't be waiting for that (and only 8 mp to boot)... and no sign of a new, higher rez Olympus pro-level camera. Time to jump ship, I guess...
None of which is really on topic for a ColorVision list, except that I find any of the Olympus, Nikon, or Canon SLR cameras with RAW mode to offer good color for use with a color managed workflow; so my camera decisions are based on other factors.
