I've carried various digital cameras, including my Rebel XT, in my Marsee magnetic tankbag for a couple of years now. The magnet in that tank bag is HUGE. I've never had any kind of problem.

The ISO of this morning's woot is only 400. Still not a bad price...
Wide angle like what? My new Canon SD900 can do that stitch shot panorama thingie, and also has wide mode.
Another +1 for the Canon A710 IS. I added one of those to the fold last week.

25F and overcast out. Too much frost on the roads for me to feel comfy. --sigh--
Maybe Sunday........
Nikon D200
I carry Nikon D200 with 18-200mm VR lens in a Lowepro small video camera tucked away in the saddlebag.
For Nikon photographers ... what lens(s) do you carry with you.
I did not carry my Nikon to 2006 National Rally in VT due to lack of space, but I took Canon S40 4.1 megapixel camera. It was okay, but didn't replace my dSLR.

Two works better. The P&S can be in the tank bag or inside the jacket. By the time you dismount and get the SLR out a great picture can be lost. Shot quickly from the saddle and then
-stop bike
-dismount
-take off helmet
-take off gloves
-get key
-unlock bags
-get SLR out of bag
-remove lens cap
That used to be my routine. Now I keep the A700 at hand in front and take the quick shot first. If the scene is spectacular the eight steps above always apply. Always ride with other photographers. Only they understand the need to stop and go and stop and go. But it pays off at the when, at the end of the day there are lots of great shots to share.

Yeah, no fooling. I'm still kicking myself for shots I missed 20 years ago.
"I'll see that again."
"Nope. I haven't."

We all could use this link
Check out this link for archiving photos.
A sample from the site:
"Image Archiving
By Michael Schwarz
As photographers begin to accumulate huge collections of digital images, the importance of creating functional archives of the images becomes even more critical. A good image archive combines a secure and dependable method of storage along with a logical strategy of embedding metadata into the images so that the archives can be searched to allow quick location of specific images."

OR.... You can carry a dslr in a holster on your chest and a monopod accessible w/o dismounting and get fantastic wide shots that are difficult with a P&S.
