Really? That's news to me. Which lenses, & which bodies? -- W . | ,. w , "Some people are alive only because \|/ \|/ it is illegal to kill them."

No doubt. I was assuming that because the OP asked the question here, they were interested in DSLRs specifically. > Before you ask - not all airlines permit digital cameras to be used during > flight and many prohibit them during the take-off and landing phases of the > flight.

You know that all the Canon EF film bodies also have digital electronics in them? Strictly speaking, they should ban EF film bodies as well. ;^) -- W . | ,. w , "Some people are alive only because \|/ \|/ it is illegal to kill them."

That's news to me. Which lenses, & which bodies? The EF-S lenses won't work on full frame EOS bodies ... but that's because its an EF-S lens, which is not an EF lens, but rather a lens that's designed to be used on EF-S based EOS bodies, which are compatible with both EF & EF-S lenses. -hh

That's interesting. Continental -- and the smaller regional airline flying as Continental Express -- evidently couldn't care less. I'll be using a different airline this winter, so maybe it will be different. |
