My Impetus

I am taking a much needed vacation to Las Vegas in November and I can’t wait to bring my camera and take some shots of Sin City and especially the Hoover Dam. I have gotten by on two 1GbTranscend memory cards and one battery, however, I don’t want to run out of room or juice when traveling.

I ordered a spare Canon NB-2LH Rechargeable Battery for the trip.

On the memory front, I decided on the SanDisk SDCFX3-4096-901 4 GB Extreme III CompactFlash Card. A friend of mine went with the Ultra II a few months ago, and it’s a damn fine card. However, I couldn’t resist the extra ‘I’ on the package, and went for the Extreme card.

Of course, my friend told me the only reason I did it was to 1-up him, and sent me this:

I spent some time researching different options, and I settled on the BG-E3 battery grip. I just ordered it today, and I can’t wait to try it out. I will post a review of the grip after my return.
