As far as cases go, do any of y'all have recommendations regarding hard cases that hold up well as carry-ons? I was looking at Pelican Cases, with their pre-cut 1" cube foam set-up, which looked pretty cool. Anyhow, I want something sturdy that will protect my gear (likely a 5D, portable small tripod, 17-40/4 and 55/1.4 lenses) and that also travels well.

Thanks for the link to dpreview.com. I've been reading about 5Ds all afternoon and evening there, as well as on luminous landscape and other sites. I was also looking at Canon's 14mm/2.8 L USM lens, but it was quite pricey, and looked to have serious problems with flare (as well as a strangely designed hood). Just what I needed, another expensive hobby

Oh well, at least this one's mostly up-front costs, and not so much recurring costs (or at least not recurring as frequently as my travel costs ).
