and familiar with.
One lens for wide angle (17-55mm)and one lens for telephoto(70-200mm).
it is good to take some detail of building or people, if you want to have litter lens, you can think about 18-200mm lens. the quaility is not as good as "L" lens, but you can enjoy your travel without carry about of equipment.
A Flash will be useful when you talking photo inside the building or at night.
Few extra batteries will be useful for travel for few days without charge up.
one or two 8G memory cards will be great for save images, and just in case one fail or missing.
Don't forget the CPL lens, it is lit and it will improve the image quality.
A widder and softer strip with batter suppout will reduce the weight, too. if your carry case is carried by your back, my suggestion is make the strip attached to the carry case, not go around the neck.
A tripod will be need when you are going to take night shot, as I triveled in Europe for 3 weeks as a business trip, I only use tripod in the last two days in London, because of that is not saft to carry all the camera equipment wolking alone in the night time outside alone. Therefore you can double think about that.
I will try to reply as many posts as possible.

樓主有提到一個問題，..頻繁的進出海關，所以一般說"不太可能將器材托運...Tamrac 5256 .(恕刪)
I can not carry a huge camera backpack on board the plane. I am limited to a normal checked luggage (max. 50 lbs , total dimension 62 inches), one tiny wheeled checked luggage (carry-on, provided by tour company) ; I can bring one backpack (they provided one small backpack, I plan to use my own to carry my laptop), plus one camera bag.
This is not a photo tour. It is a private jet tour. In some of remote areas, we still have to travel by normal commerical jet. At least checked luggage is safe if locked. Before we go on to next remote destination, they would ask us to transfer clothing and equipment from big luggage to small wheel luggage (maximum is 3 days).
I have many big camera backpacks I can use at home. (Lowepro photo trekker AW II, Lowepro natural trekker AWII,Lowepro Dryzone 100, Dryzone 200....). I just don't think I am able to show up with a huge backpack on my back.
I hope you understand I am limited by the size of bag, weight of equipment.
I guess alot of compromises have to be made.
thanks,

Again I thank you for many tips and personal recommendations.
I still have to decide on many other eqiupments to bring along this trip.
So far I have narrow it down to
Panasonic HDC-SD1 high definition camcorder
1 160gb protable WD hard drive for backup
Sony G1 laptop
2x 8g SD card(SDHC)
2x 8g CF card (Ridata)
2x 4g SD card
my camcorder use sd card media for recording.
lots of pencils as gifts for children
Camera equipment:
1Ds II, 16-35, 24-70 or 50 (?), 70-200, 580ex flash, 2x extender, tabletop tripod (?)
Finally!!! I am getting there. Few more days adjustment and I am ready to go.

到後來四五天還是慢慢疲乏了..第二台機身我不太建議帶(恕刪)
Most places we stay no more than 2-3 days, I believe I still can keep up with the rest of group memebers as long as I limit my equipment carefully. For example, if I have to carry 16-35, 70-200, choose either 50 or 24-70, 580ex flash, choose a table tripod or monopod for this trip. When I get to Tibet, I will leave some equipment inside the big checked luggage. Same thing for India, South Africa.. I just need to find a way to make sure camera equipment insdie the checked luggage well protected.
So suggestions on
ways to protected lens :in a separte bag inside the big check luggage?
table top tripod ?

580EX我想還是必須的...有燈總比沒燈好
不過更理想的是大兔?5+50 1.4 +小白IS+580EX就是了......
24-70實在是太大了....那個遮光罩要收很麻煩...
sorry!my English is very poor!
I think I will leave 2x extender inside the checked luggage for Africa, so is 580EX until needed.
what about 50 1.2? or just 501.4 is fine
I don't carry hood with me
I don't think anyone have problem reading English on here. I rather like people to reply me in Chinese. I wish I know how to type Chinese.

看過樣片之後，我一點都不覺得 50/1.2L 是個必需品。他也許比 50/1.4 好一點，但是重很多。我覺得如果你有 50/1.4 的話不需要多買 50/1.2L ，畢竟光圈只差半檔。不過如果你只有 50/1.8 的話，也許值得考慮。24-70L 與 50mm 來選的話，因為重量畫質光圈的考慮，我想我會選後者。
另外，我覺得如果你要在馬丘比丘或吳哥窟照遺跡建築的話，帶上 16-35L 的遮光罩會是好主意, this lens is not famous (I would rather say notorious) for stray light suppression，不然帶個大一點的帽子也行。
帶一支 Camcoder 是個極好的主意，這樣就省一個隨身機。

I just placed an order for 50mm, I knew eventually I will have to get this prime lens. You just cost me $1500.
what do you mean 省一個隨身機? I told my wife I would show her the video since she doesnt want to go with me. She has more patient watching video with me than staring at my computer screen going over thousands of photos. This camcorder use SDHC cards and shares it with 1Ds and canon 800IS, so I can not really use it as a media storage device.
Why is it so far all comments suggest carrying 1Ds only? What about carrying both cameras or just Rebel Xti (400d) only?
I bought 400d not long ago and it's very portable. With lens I plan to carry, it should do well and 580Ex may not be needed if certain condition really requires flash.
Just another thougt,

跟 1.8M NTD 比起來這個算小的...

這要看你自己嚕，我的意思是，如果你可以接受 DV 的畫質的話，也許你就不用帶 800IS ，帶一台隨身機還要帶充電器的，既然 DV 一定要帶，少掉 800IS 或許你就可以帶 580EX 甚至 400D 了。

事實上我有這麼想過，不過後來還是覺得建議 1DS 比較好，原因是
1. 1DsMKII 的妥善率一定比 400D 好，他是強固的耐候機種，對焦系統是目前 Canon 最強 (搞不好是 DSLR 中最強)。你該不會希望在這麼艱難的環境下旅行過一半就發生 DSLR 掛點的狀況，畢竟這是價值 60K USD 的昂貴旅行。
2. 超廣角的使用。 16-35 在 400D 上面就變成 25.6-56，不夠廣，我自己以前用 350D 出國旅行帶的鏡頭是 Sigma 12-24 ，我也常常把她轉到最廣 (equ. 19.2mm) 來用。
3. 16-35, 24-70 & 70-200IS 都是大傢伙，裝到 400D 上面不太平衡，加上他的握把短，我覺得拿不久就會不舒服。
事實上考慮到旅行無法重來的情形你絕對應該兩台都帶，一台放在行李中當備用機，但是這可能佔掉你的行李箱空間。

1Ds II is also heaviest camera I ever used. With two kids, I am already out of shape. Weight was my concern. When I tried it with 2x extender and 70-200 2.8 IS handheld, I can not last very long walking with this setup. I guess quality outweights portability in this case.
I plan to go check out a local camera store in town, they have good selection of camera bags, maybe I will get a padded one that will be used to hold one lens and maybe a bare 400D as a backup. My collection of bags are growing faster than my closet.
Right now I need to work on clothing (extreme cold and hot weather) since luggage space is shrinking. In the past, I usually overpack and since our family has 4, there is not problem with luggage limitations. Where can I get help on that? Should I also ask on other forum for help?
So far I am planning to take 4 days worth of change clothes. I can do the clothi wash myself inside the hotel. That way I can save some luggage space. Anyhow I really hope by the time I put everything inside the luggage, it will not be full or weight close to 50 pounds.
I usually just read everyone's posts, I was afraid of post on the forum. I guess there are always people on here willing to help. This is really an excellent place to get information.
