I'm heading off to Dubai at the end of the month for a week. The big question... what do I take body and lens wise :)
 
iPhone 5 is always with me ;) supposed I should have listed the bodies;

550D
40D
1D MK II

As far as lenses go, I'll be taking the 24-105, 8mm CF, 10-20mm and my 40mm pancake. Flash and tripod as well as battery chargers etc...
 
I'd take the one that's most dust proof...

:) that would be the 1D MK II, although all three of them have been through 2 colour festivals and are still going strong. The all have their pros and cons, I guess it's weigh up what I want to do... most of it will be landscape, architectural shots so I guess the 1D could do the job as I will be using mostly manual. and then weigh up the weight of the equipment, as I need to leave space to bring some bits back.
 
Maybe I should have said "sand proof" rather than dust proof. I've not had camera damage, but my 50mm f/1.4 took some sand in, and Canon had to replace just about everything except for the lens mount, glass and focus ring :(
