Thanks! A lot of good suggestions.

As I don't have a PS camera, then I'd have to shell out some money for it now. Andrewluke, you had a good point though. If I'd crash with my DSLR and just one lens, then it might make a rather big hole in my credit card bill...

Icyclist, I like your photos. You have perfectly managed to emulate the classic film look (in case these were with the panasonic).

Btw, if someone is interested in hiking with SLRs, I have found a rather good solution. I was testing one bag after another and was not really satisfied, until I came to the Naneu models. It takes the comfort to a totally other level. Just check them out if you're shopping for your next hiking rucksack. Nevertheless, they are definitely not meant for cycling (with the exception of slow speed cycling on a MTB may be). Too large and wide.
