nick_breedlove1 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I just went on a week long cruise, took the 20D and the 28-135 USM IS. Worked great. Enjoy your trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neal_shields Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I went on a simular sized ship in the S. Pacific recently. Of 16 passengers about half had digital cameras. After 10 days none of the digital cameras were functioning properly. They didn't like the humidity. If you have an air conditioned cabin try to find a place on deck to store your camera so it always remains at the same temperature or at least changes temperature slowly. I would probably take a zoom lens so I didn't have to keep opening the body to change lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron l Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Take your most versatile lens so you don't have to change - you'll pay in the open ocean and in humidity. Interesting that all those cameras failed. I have yet to try my camera (D70) at high heat, humidity for long periods. Just don't make the mistake of going from hot to AC or AC to hot constantly without a baggie or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phyrpowr Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Ditto the 28-135 IS, and an IS telephoto if you can buy/rent/borrow/steal one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
