Even if you're allowed, you'll have to tough it out sans a bag, as all olympic venues have very limited carry-in items. http://www.vancouver2010.com/olympic...ing-the-venue/
According to that, you'll have to leave the speedlight at home too, but SLRs are not on that list.

So no flash photography means you can bring cameras like P&S but just not use flash?

The 200 f2.8 would be my weapon of choice. Black, small, stealthy.

If you have fast lenses I think the pictures out of your slr would be worth the wait- considering that this is pretty much a once in a lifetime event.
I like my G10 a lot, but if I had a choice (and the lenses), I'd wait in line to get my 50D in.

I'd say see what the lineup times are first, but it'd be hard for me to leave the L at home  Posted via RS Mobile | |

You can have a small camera bag provided it can stow under the seat or not take up any aisle space. Glad to have a 70-200 2.8VR in my collection now.
