I bought the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG APO OS HSM for Nikon. Half the price of the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VRII. I tested the Nikon & Sigma versions and could not tell the difference. Went with the most economical option.

How about the LowePro Urban Photo Sling 250

thepod.ca is a good option too

Smugmug. I have about 700GB stored there.

I have the LowePro Flipside 500 AW. A little big for under the seat on the plane. The 400 would fit better.

I have decided to take:

-d7100 body
-18-300mm f3.5-5.6
-2 batteries & charger
-a small point & shoot only because my kids like taking goofy pictures
-my Samsung Galaxy S3

Will be shooting everything. This trip will be similar to my last year's trip to San Diego to Legoland, Padre's stadium, Zoo & Safari park. Last year I took 4 lenses but only used the 18-300 f3.5-5.6 and a 11-16 f2.8. But I did not have the 17-55 f2.8. The photography will mostly capturing the family and the scenery.

I am going to Anaheim with the family for a week and want to travel light. We are going to Disneyland (3 days), Universal Studios, Knotts Berry Farm, Aquarium of the Pacific and a Dodgers game. I am going to only bring my d7100 and one lens. I have narrowed it down to 2:

17-55mm f2.8 DX or the 18-300mm f3.5-56 VR DX

Which of these 2 should I take?

I am also taking 2 batteries & charger and four 32GB cards

I use the LowePro Flipside 500 AW

Thanks for the video rpavich. It actually got me thinking. Maybe I should just ditch the DSLR and just use the Samsung ST200F get creative.

I am in this same boat too. 90% no PP. I shot film from my first camera in 1980 to 3 years ago when I bought a d7000. And yes I am under 50.
