You guys talk about how some of the digital cameras are "too 
cumbersome"  I had to laugh at that!  I'm certain quite a few of us are 
old enough to remember cameras with film.  Talk about cumbersome!  I 
once rode 25 miles in the mountains with not one, but TWO 35mm cameras 
around my NECK!  One had a huge telephoto lens, the other was set up 
for wide angle shots.  Weeee!

I wore a large down vest with the cameras safely inside.  When a photo 
op presented itself, I'd RIIPPP the snaps, grab a camera and snap away. 
 I've gotten some awesome shots this way.  IMO, you still can't beat a 
good old fashioned 35mm with high speed film for action shots.  I've 
been lucky to get some decent shots even at a fast trot, or canter.  A 
vest is a really good way to pack things close at hand, and there are 
some really cool ones out there, made for sportsman, bikers, etc.

I admit, I take MORE pictures with a digital, but I take BETTER shots 
the old fashioned way. And that telephoto lens is awesome for getting 
candid shots.  (It was the only way I could get decent pictures of my 
daughter when she was little.... she was an incredible ham if she saw 
me with a camera in my hand)
