USEFUL TIPS

* Use a waist money belt for Passport, Travel Cheques and a little cash. (These are not too difficult to replace, and a thief will expect you to have a 'Money Belt' containing these items.)
* Use a leg money belt or other place for cash and credit cards.
* Email to yourself all your important numbers etc., including travelers cheque numbers. If you loose everything you will always be able to check you email for emergency information.
* When walking around a crowded town or market avoid using a daypack. (Thieves think they are full of goodies - camera, Walkman, sunglasses and money!)
* If possible use your own padlock on your hotel door.
* In your hotel room leave a little money that is easy to find and hide the rest very carefully. Thieves are normally in a great rush and will run once they find something.
* Never leave your hotel door open when you are not in your room, even for quick visits to the bathroom.
* When traveling by bus cover your pack with a rice sack or similar, so that it looks like local luggage.
* When inside the bus keep your daypack on your lap. At night cuddle your daypack!
* When getting off the bus for something take your daypack with you.
* Never put a daypack down in a bus or railway station.
* If you can at all afford it take a taxi from bus stations and airports. (Think of this as paying an insurance premium!)
* You are most vulnerable when you are on the move with all your belongings. Treat getting from the bus station to your hotel like a military operation. Know where you are going and how you will get there etc. Avoid wandering around or taking unnecessary diversions.
* If something seems too good to be true, it is probably a trick!
* If someone is too keen to get to know you, ask yourself why?
* Use your intuition. If you feel something is wrong get out of the situation - don't worry about looking 'Stupid'. You will look more stupid if you go along with a scam and loose everything.
* If going 'Out on the town' then only take what you need. After a few beers you may not be as aware as normal!

How Waterproof is the Sanyo VPC-CA9?

tda_good

This is a question to the technical guys, not the people who have read the spec and want to guess at the answer please.

Sanyo say their camera VPC-CA9 is waterproof to 1.5 meters. Ok this is quite specific and there must be a margin of safety. I.e. testing to like 7m but they but 1.5 so people don't start sending them back faulty.

Does anyone know how waterproof it really would be if a company is stating 1.5m?

Answer
People do not realise that the actual maximum depth is a static depth, IE no movement, Most cameras will go through a test, one in 100 if that passes then the batch is ok. so maybe double the depth they have stated, but that wil only go for the ones they have tested, you may be lucky and it will go to 4m but do you want to take that risk, and find out that your batch did not fully pass the test.
