<description><![CDATA[ I have been living and teaching English in Japan for the past 1.5years, and am leaving on July 29th for my &amp;quot;trip home&amp;quot; to Canada via 3-6months of SE Asia.
I bought my Nikon D5000 body w/ 18-200mm lens in Canada, and have used it thoroughly since coming to Japan. Now that my travels are coming up, I know for sure I want to bring it along to make sure I get those quality photos I've come accustomed to taking.


BAG: I have had a Lowepro Rezo 160AW bag for the camera, flash, extra battery, chargers, etc., but want to upgrade to something a little more convenient for more extensive traveling. The all weather covering is great, but it's uncomfortable and inconvenient for bringing around traveling (can't comfortably sling it over my ... ]]></description>

<title>DSLR Or High-end P&amp;S Camera?</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Hi all,

I'm planning a year-long RTW trip starting next August. So far on my travels I've only used an ordinary compact digital camera, but I find taking photos to be one of the most enjoyable aspects of travelling and want to upgrade. I've played around with my mother's DSLR and love the quality of the shots, but I don't know enough of the technical side of things to take full advantage of it. I'm also concerned about the weight and safety of a big camera during such a long trip.

As a compromise I've been looking at the more expensive compact cameras (such as the Canon PowerShot G12), and I was wondering if any of you guys have experience with them? Is the picture quality more similar to a regular compact camera or SLR? Or would ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Im heading to SEA with my girlfriend for 3 months from the 10th of july. she is taking her small point and shoot cannon, and i'm taking my compact DSLR sony NEX-5.

However neither of these cameras are waterproof, and i want to be able to take photos while snorkelling. I could borrow a waterproof olympus off a friend but that would mean 3 cameras between 2 people + chargers etc... seems a bit much!

does anyone have any experience with disposable waterproof cameras? would this be a good alternative?

Thanks ]]></description>

<title>What About Tripods?</title>

<pubDate>Tue, 11 Jan 2011 18:19:38 +0000</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[ Hi guys,

I'm pretty torn about bringing a tripod on my 3 month trip to SEA. On the one hand, I'm trying to stay ultra light (my camera and lenses are already heavy enough!) and not check bags, so I'm not even sure I can get a tripod on the plane. On the other hand, I really don't want to miss out on great sunrise/sunset/evening photography.

Does anyone have experience with this? What about the possibility of buying a cheap tripod once I get to SEA (cheap tripod &amp;gt; no tripod), has anyone done that? I'll be going to Vietnam first, starting in Hanoi.

Thanks for your advice! ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Hello.

Im new to this website, and have throughly enjoyed going through it. Super informative, so happy I found it before my trip. My bf and I are spending 4 months travelling through SE Asia (Phillipines, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam) as well as 1 month in China. We leave in January.

I enjoy taking a lot of photos, and have been trying to figure out the best way to back up photos while on the road. I do not want to buy a million memory cards, and would prefer to backup photos to CDs or photo sharing websites.

However, how feasible would this be in internet cafes across SE Asia? I would assume upload and download times would be fairly slow. How easy is it for them to burn images onto CDs? Also, what photo sharing website would ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ I just wanted to get some opinions.

So I am going to take my camera/lense...it's worth around $2500.  I ordered this pacsafe daysafe 200 bag:
http://www.pacsafe.com/www/index.php?_room=3&amp;amp;_action=detail&amp;amp;id=67

I am concerned if that's enough protection.  Would that be fine in my room (or draw attention)?

Also, if I go out during the day...like in the woods and rural areas, am I safe having this camera with me?

I'll be in Cambodia for about a month or so...in Battambang, Siem Reap, etc...

I wasn't going to bring my camera, but I thought it would be a shame to miss out on taking photos in such beautiful areas.
(I'm sorry, I know the pacsafe issue has been discussed before but I wanted new/more recent opinions on that ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Hi,

I'm traveling first time to Singapore. I need to but a low/ medium range branded compact camera (Cybershot/ Nikon/ Canon/ Samsung).

Is Singapore is the cheapest place? (I don't know the prices in Japan).

What is the camera prices in Singapore compare to Japan? I guess Singapore prices are cheaper. Like to get your experience.

Thanks,

<description><![CDATA[ I am traveling Asia very soon with my new camera and lense (worth a little over $2,000).

I've tried getting an insurance quote to cover everything but am never able to get a dollar figure on what insurance would cost.

I've also considered a Pac safe bag to lock it up in guesthouses when I'm not there, but wondered if that would just bring too much attention.

Or I could just take my chances but I would never feel comfortable leaving it behind in the shady cheap guesthouses that I like to stay in.

What are my options?  Does anyone have experience with this? ]]></description>

<title>Fuji Mini Instax Camera Film</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Hey all,

Q: CAN I GET Fuji Mini Instax Camera Film IN THAILAND + HOW MUCH IS IT?

I'm travelling to SE-Asia later this month and have suddenly had an urge to get an Instant film camera. (bit like the polariods they had in the old days...)

Anyway, I'm going to get a Fuji Instax Camera of some sort, and wondered whether I should buy all the film before I go, or whether it will be easy to find and cheaper in Thailand/Bangkok.

I can get 10 films for £5/250THB online.

Thanks!

<description><![CDATA[ Hi, a friend and I will be backpacking through south east asia for 13 weeks starting this November. We plan on using busses and train to get around and stay in not too pricey accommodation such as hostels.

I enjoy taking good quality pictures while travelling and plan I plan on taking my Canon 400D DSLR camera  for high quality shots and my Olympus Stylus 850 Shock &amp;amp; Waterproof compact camera for when the terrain gets a bit more rough and rocky! I’m worried about keeping my cameras safe from theft on busses and in hostels and to a lesser extent damage, while backpacking/travelling. The DSLR is also the main worry of course.

Anyone have any good tips for backpacking in this region with two cameras? Keeping them safe? Certain ... ]]></description>
