I never let it out of my sight when it isn't secured somewhere. 2. Most people I associate with at the university (I said _MOST_ not all :) don't have time for photography anyways (hey, we _study_ here :). 3. Cameras aren't _that_ easy to sell here... For the most part, any new camera that would fit into the case I have would have to be pretty cheap or pretty useless... > A better choice is definitely some incongruously cheap and tatty bag as Ray > suggested, or inside some other larger bag, such as a backpack or a briefcase Thanks, but I _like_ having a case that can help my sx sustain a fall from the 4th floor of our residences to the (hard packed and frozen) ground below with absolutely _no_ damage... > Frank Wales, Grep Limited, [frank@grep.co.uk<->uunet!grep!frank] > Kirkfields Business Centre, Kirk Lane, LEEDS, UK, LS19 7LX.
