Cool! Can't wait to see your gear Greg.
Me, I'm bringing my new Kodak DX6490 digital camera. After taking on a drive to the track a week and a half ago I was just amazed. It weighs less than one camera body (not even counting the motor drive and all the lenses) and with the 10:1 optical zoom it was able to get tighter shots than I can with my 300mm (but not as tight as my 500mm). Hell, the 300mm weighs about as much as 2 or 3 of these cameras and it's not even a modern fast lens. My biggest gripe at the track was that it sometimes takes it a while to focus and shoot and there is no manual focus. Pix came out great though.
I love this thing. No more 30lb gear bags to lug around.
