Photography is a great way for me to express myself visually, since I pretty much can't draw :)
I use 2 cameras for my shots;
Olympus C-8080 which I really love - great lens and camera for traveling when you still want killer shots and are willing to take something a little on the larger side, but not a full SLR rig
Nikon D-300 is my newer camera and I expect to get more photos post 2008/2009 using this rig, although hiking shots may still be with the C-8080 for size and weight etc.
