I was looking to see if I could find a previous reply to your question; I’ve answered something similar before. The short answer is I carry a Canon G9 with me on most rides, and always have it in my backpack when I commute. I never want to miss that once in a lifetime chance at the Pulitzer… you know a fireman catching a baby dropped from a window

The G11 is a better camera than the G9. My only knock against both is the manual controls can be finicky to operate with gloves on.

What digital point and shoot camera do you use? I am considering the Canon G11? Any thoughts or comments…?

Love the blog and all of the Rapha reviews.

Thanks,

As a tip, I think it will be a hijab, not a burqa. A burqa fully covers the wearer from head to foot. A hijab is the small hard scarf that leaves the face fully visible.

Bodies: 1D MKIV, 1D IIN, 5D MKII, 5D
Lenses: 20-35 f2.8, 50 f1.4, 85 f1.2, 100 f2.8 macro, 200 f2.0, 300 f4

No surprise, my favorite lens is the 200 f2… fast, beautiful separation from the background shooting at anything below f4
Focal length wise I think 85mm is about perfect, I just wish Canon would make a “white” prime in the range. I’ll probably end up with the new 70-200 IS II for that reason, even though I prefer primes.

The 50 and 100 macro have decent AF. The 85 f1.2 is best for fairly static portraits, pre/post race stuff.

I try to shoot everything with available light.

While this might work on domestic flights within the U.S. I’m quite sure it would be a disaster flying internationally… and might result in a body cavity search or two

Apparently people, including photographers are packing starting pistols!

The case receives extra tracking (the TSA does not want to lose track of a “gun”) and is only handled by the TSA in the airport at the time you make your weapons declaration.

What have you spent more on? Camera gear or cycling gear?
