I'm looking to buy a new digital camera for spring/summer time. i don't need it to do lots of fancy things, i don't want it to be huge, small enough for a purse or small compartment in a backpack. i need it to be waterproof because I'll be taking it camping. just takes nice pictures outdoors and indoors and a little video action on it, in a max about $300/$350 range.

Coolpix AW100

What is a good digital camera that comes with a remote control?




Abby L


I make beauty YouTube videos and I am in the market for a new digital camera.

It must have good video quality and lots of memory.
I'd really like one with a remote for easier video pausing/stopping/starting etc.
Under $200 is a must!



Answer
The only one that I could find was I small camera - supposed to be used as a camera to put on your helmet. It includes a remote. Here is the link, but be warned that the video is not that great quality:

The cheapest HD camcorder (without a remote) I could find was this one:

I'm looking for a good quality camcorder for under $150 that uses an sd card and has good video quality.

any suggestions?



Answer
The Samsung W200 usually retails at about 179.00 however it is on sale at blacks.ca for 149.00. It is waterproof up to 3 meters, has full HD capability and also takes pictures. It is also very compact.

The W200 films sharp, brilliant moving pictures in up to 3 meters of water, and also repels dust and sand with its dust proof feature. The W200 is the must have camcorder, perfectly designed to take with you to the beach, pool, desert, mountain top, anywhere your adventures may take you.

The W200's F2.2 bright lens gives you the ability to shoot at higher shutter speeds during low-light conditions for stunningly clear, sharp, and blur free images. Combined with the 30 p / 25 p Back side illuminated CMOS sensor, it dramatically reduces image noise and distortion, enhancing recording quality in low light conditions.

Filming underwater generally generates low quality videos due to dim lighting and static noise. However, the Samsung W200's advanced technology and features-White Balance, Sound, Focus, Water Mode-specific to underwater environments helps you take clear, high quality video.
Often your camcorder lens fogs up when you come out of the cold or water, producing blurry images. The W200's lens features an anti-fog coating which lets the steam disperse so you can have a clear, blur free videos and pictures.

1920 x 1980 Full HD video means greater clarity, brightness and detail than ever before. And your video will be an exact pixel-by-pixel match for today?s best large screen HDTVs, resulting in life-like video with more natural colour and clarity.

Use your camcorder as a digital camera and snap 5 mega pixel resolution images and then watch them with family and friends on your TV screen.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another is the Samsung F50 SD. It is available from The Source by Circuit City.
The F50 is the ultimate versatile camcorder, offering you incredible zoom and extended recording time, plus smart features you can't live without. It comes equipped with an incredibly powerful 52X high-zoom lens, and extra large 1/6" CCD sensor for enhanced image quality. Capturing vivid colour and clarity is easy with the customizable Smart Auto mode and Digital Image Stabilizer that delivers steady and detailed images, in any lighting condition.
Features

Type: SD Camcorder
52x Optical zoom
2.7" LCD screen
Smart BGM and Smart Auto
USB charging
Extended battery life
Includes Li-Ion IA-BP105R battery



The F50's Smart BGM feature automatically lowers the music volume when speech is detected in the film, so everyone's voice is heard. With the ability to take high-resolution still photos and record for more than 4 hours at a time with H.264 compression, the Samsung F50 Camcorder ensures you won't miss any special moments. Pick up an extra memory card and battery pack from TheSource.ca and enjoy endless filming capabilities.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The final one I could find is the Toshiba Camileo H30 Camcorder. It retails for $139.01 at bhphotovideo.com. Features include....

1080 HD
SD/SDHC Memory Card Slot
10MP CMOS Sensor
3" LCD
5x Optical Zoom
Video Stabilization
10MP Digital Stills

What do people think of Nikon D200 camera?




jess_2317


slr digital camera


Answer
I went from a N70 SLR film camera to an F100 SLR film camera to a D70 digital SLR to now a D200 digital SLR. The F100 was perhaps the best film camera Nikon ever made, in my opinion. The D200 is the closest Nikon digital SLR to the F100 with a reasonable price.

What I like about the D200:
Fantastic build quality - magnesium alloy body with weather seals. It's not waterproof but I can expose it to the elements with little worry.
Very fast autofocusing. It's much faster and more accurate than the D70.
Beautiful LCD screen. No comparison to the D70's tiny screen.
Big and bright viewfinder. Not quite as good at my trusty old F100 but close.
In conjunction with an SB600/800, flash performance is top notch.
Built-in flash is very handy, especially when you don't want to carry around an external flash. Great for the snapshots or when you need subtle fill-flash during the day.
10.2 megapixel is nice, especially when you need to crop in post processing.
5 frames per/sec is sweet when shooting sports. I shot a series of shots of some of my students (I'm a teacher) riding a swing and jumping off towards me. Every shot was spot on focus on about 10 frame sequences.

What I don't like about the D200:
Low light/high ISO performance is not that good, especially when compared to Canon SLRs.
Can get heavy when carried for long periods of time.
The battery doesn't last as long as the D70s but that's to be expected considering the larger LCD screen.

However, with the new D80 coming out, it's hard to recommend a D200 to anyone but a serious, experienced amatuer or professional as the great majority of the useful features of the D200 will be on the D80 for a much lower price.

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.

I would like to know a good waterproof digital camera that I could buy around 100 - 200⬠(133 - 266$ / 86 - 172£).

Looking forward for your suggestions!

Cheers



Answer
If you like to get out there and have fun, the Stylus Tough 6020 camera from Olympus® is the one for you. It's rugged enough to handle whatever you can dish out, and smart enough to take incredible pictures while you're doing it. Not only is it waterproof, freezeproof and shockproof, it's also packed with amazing technology like one-touch HD movie recording.

I love photography and am looking to buy a legit, high tech, digital camera. What are the best out there?




mysteryyyy


I prefer to have the options of having an attachable fisheye lens, and possibly the option of a waterproof digital camera. Say money is not an issue... what cameras are most reccommended?


Answer
Olympus makes pretty good water proof point and shoot cameras. Shock resistant too.

Fish eyes are typically used on SLRs, which will cost you a quit a bit more (especially if you want to go under water). You might be able to get a fish-eye adapter for a point & shoot. Check B&H Photo for a comprehensive inventory and very good prices.

Note to the other poster, you can get an underwater case for an SLR, but they typically run about $2000 for a hard case. Ewa-Marine makes soft "Zip-Loc" style bags for about $200, but the optics aren't as good.

Should I get a waterproof camera?

best waterproof camera amazon image



cupcakegir


I already have a great camera that is not waterproof, but I think it would be great to get a waterproof camera. I don't go to the beach or pool that much, but I do sometimes, and every year I go to Vermont where I swim in the lake. I found a waterproof camera on amazon for pretty cheap. Do you think it would be worth it to buy a waterproof camera or should I just use my non waterproof one?


Answer
it depends on 1. how much you use your camera, and 2. if you can replace the camera with it. also, what price is the camera, is it higher or lower than the original cameras price or is it being sold for the same amount. you could also use an alternative like a plastic bag or a plastic casing, or if you have the know how just make your own plastic case, although the plastic bag i wouldn't suggest since the bag can accidentally get opened. it all comes down to if you will use it, if you wont use it, then it wouldn't be worth it, if you will use it, i would say, get it, and if you do find a picture you want to take but you don't come back to that place often, it would be a good idea for that one time underwater shot.

what should i get for a waterproof camera?




Yello Guy


i very much want to get a waterproof camera, but i don't know which one. i feel like i need more info on the cameras to make a good decision. i've been searching amazon and it comes between a couple.
im very interested in the new olympus 8010, but the cost is much greater than the canon d10.

i dont believe image quality will be an issue just reliability. plz anyone who has owned these cameras help me make a good choice that floats.



Answer
Although it's virtually crush-proof, the Tough 8010 is a new camera and is untested.

The Canon is last year's model but has been proven reliable. Another one you should consider is the Panasonic TS1. The casing is made of metal -- just like the Olympus Tough.

Check the link below for all the list of waterproof cameras in the market right now. Maybe you'll find one that fits your budget.

jnjdenkjck


I have the fujifilm xp and it says its a waterproof camera. Does that mean it can actually go underwater or that if it gets wet it will be okay? If it can go underwater, can it go in salt water and chlorine water?


Answer
Yes, it is designed to go under water. I would rinse it off after immersing it in salt water or highly chlorinated water, like a pool. Read all about it here

Answer
Nikon Coolpix L120 for US$150

Fujifilm FinePix XP-series for US$120-$180
Slim compact camera fits in the palm of your hands. Waterproof, dust proof, sand proof = worry free as to where you put it while relaxing on the beach. Best during the day, and awesome for underwater shots.

Don't forget to buy extra SD cards and batteries.

What are some good waterproof digital cameras?

waterproof cameras fuji on Fujifilm Finepix Xp10 Waterproof Digital Camera - smart reviews on ...
waterproof cameras fuji image



frecklefac


I've always thought it was a really cool idea, and lately I've been looking into getting one. I've looked at some from Canon and Olympus. I'm leaning towards Canon's D10 because it gets good reviews, is slightly cheaper than Olympus models, and because I really like Canon cameras.
Anyone that owns this camera or another waterproof camera-
Is it good price considering that it would only get moderate use?
Do you recommend this camera, or another one?
Would I be better off getting a waterproof case for my current camera (a Canon powershot a570)?

Thanks so much!



Answer
Here are 5 top rated waterproof cameras:

1. Canon PowerShot D10

$330, 12.1MP; 3X optical zoom; waterproof to 33 feet
Canonâs first foray into waterproof digital compacts looks like a cross between a Digital ELPH and a diving bell. With a waterproof rating down to 33 feet, itâs among the deepest divers in this category, but its 2.5-inch LCD and optically stabilized 35â105mm (equivalent) f/2.8â4.9 zoom lens arenât at the front of this pack. Like the other cameras here, the D10 is freeze- and shockproof, in this case surviving temperatures down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit and falls of up to 4 feet.

2. Fujifilm Finepix Z33WP

$200, 10MP; 3X optical zoom; waterproof to 10 feet
Borrowing design cues from Fujiâs teen-targeted Z30, this underwater shooter is one of the tiniest and most stylish, as well as the most affordable. Its 2.7-inch LCD is as large as they come on this type of compact. But itâs waterproof only to 10 feet, and its 10MP and 35â105mm (equivalent) f/3.7â4.2 optical zoom arenât groundbreaking.

3. Olympus Stylus Tough 8000

$400, 12MP; 3.6X optical zoom; waterproof to 33 feet
Olympus offers some of the most rugged compact cameras you can get, and its latest fits the mold. You can shoot down to 33 feet underwater, drop the camera from up to 6.6 feet, and use it in temperatures down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Plus, its metal construction can withstand up to 220 pounds of pressure. Sensorshift image stabilization combats hand shake, and the zoom, while not league-leading, spans an equivalent 28â102mm f/3.5â5.1.

4. Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1

$400, 12.1MP; 4.6X optical zoom; waterproof to 10 feet
Panasonic has stepped up to the pool in a strong way with its first waterproof digital camera. Its optically stabilized 28â128mm (equivalent) f/3.3â5.9 zoom offers a nice balance of wide angle for underwater and midrange tele for land-based adventures. At 12.1MP, it affords plenty of resolution, and it has an ample 2.7-inch LCD. While we wish it could go deeper than 10 feet, its 720p video recording should make playing in the backyard pool more fun than ever.

5. Pentax Optio W60

$250, 10MP; 5X optical zoom; waterproof to 13 feet
Pentax was one of the first to offer dunkable digital cameras with its WP series years ago, and now itâs a major force. This model has plenty of room to the left of the lens to hold onto, and we like the 720p video recording, though weâd rather have a faster rate than its 15 frames per second. Its Super Macro mode should be a boon below the surface, letting you focus as close as 0.4 inches from the front of the 28â140mm (equivalent) f/3.5â5.5 lens.

Which waders should I buy for fly fishing?

waterproof digital camera buying guide on 2013 Best Waterproof Digital Camera | Travel Advisor Guides
waterproof digital camera buying guide image



dang


I need to buy a light-weight breatheable pair of waders for fly fishing. Any suggestions? Any that I should stay away from?


Answer
I buy my waders from Cabela's.

They carry a Cabela's brand, selling breathable waders for as low as $59 to $240.

Remember the old saying, you get what you pay for.

I really like the Guide Tech Dry Plus breathable waders, those sell for around $190. A quote from Cabela's, " Body material is waterproof, breathable and highly puncture resistant, thanks to the five-layer Dry-Plus® technology in key stress areas, including the lower legs and seat. The rest of the body is built with four-layer Dry-Plus material for increased breathability. Try a pair, and we think you'll agree Guide Tech waders represent the ultimate in high-performance fishing waders."

The built in chest pack is a great place for my digital camera and other items.
The stocking foot wader feels a whole lot better than the usual feet found in waders. A quote from Cabela's: "Stockingfoot Waders have neoprene feet ergonomically designed to fit your right and left foot better and feature durable, high-density soles for a longer life."

They also sell waders made by: Simms, & Chota & Columbia & Hodgman & William Joseph.

Panasonic Lumix TS20 16.1 MP TOUGH Waterproof Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom is my 4th digital camera in 2 years. My $300 Nikon was damaged when daughters 5 year old friend dropped it, my $300 Canon stopped working on a Caribbean vacation due to high humidity (do not buy a Canon and use near salt water and heat), my new $300 Nikon died after an unexpected roll over in a kayak. Given that I was into digital cameras for close to $1,000 in just over a year I decided to go with a waterproof, drop resistant design and this $130 Lumix easily produces photos equal in quality to the Canon and Nikon's costing several hundred dollars more.

Kristina


Okay so my boyfriend's mom gave him a waterproof camera and he asked his mom if he could give it to me and she said yes so he gave it to me since he wasn't going to use it cuz he has a better more expensive digital camera. He gave it to me as a Anniversary present since our Anniversary was the 23rd of this month. Is that cheap of him? Or do you think it was still sweet of him because he knew I really wanted a camera?


Answer
It all depends on his financial position. If buy you something you wanted would have broken his budget, then fair enough. You got what you wanted and he saved a few bucks.

Top 8 Camera Bags for Digital SLR Cameras

Digital SLR cameras are versatile and they shoot amazing pictures. They are big, though, and have detachable lenses. Finding a bag that protects and holds everything well isn't so simple. Here is a list of the top camera bags for digital SLR cameras.

1) Lowepro Micro Trekker 200 Camera Bag
This is a versatile bag that combines a compact size with room for your camera and lenses. You can get your SLR with attached lens, plus three more lenses if you cram, into this bag. It is quite comfortable to wear, as the back straps get reinforced with a waist strap.

2) Lowepro Mini Trekker Classic
If you've got a couple bodies and a few lenses to lug around, this is an ideal choice. This backpack camera bag can hold an SLR with attached 80-200mm f/2.8 lens, an additional body and about four or five extra lenses. The tripod mount is upright, which makes it much more comfortable.

3) Lowepro Toploader 75AW Camera Bag
If you want to get to your SLR on the fly, and you don't need a bunch of lenses, this is the way to go. Your SLR camera nestles inside, pointed down and ready for quick grabs for shots. It can be attached to your belt and it features an all-weather cover, which makes it great for travel photography.

4) Lowepro Off Trail SLR Camera Bag
If you plan to take your SLR hiking or camping, this is a perfect selection. The main compartment holds an SLR with lens, and two detachable side tubes can hold lenses or water bottles. It straps around your waist, giving your shoulders a nice break.

5) RoadWired Photo/Video Convertible Bag
You can get an amazing 20-some pockets and stash multiple cameras and lenses in this versatile camera bag. The dividers can be moved and adjusted to suit your needs, and you can choose between a shoulder bag or a waist pack strap. It features a hidden pocket for keys or cash. There is a self-storing rain shield that can be used as a shell in bad weather.

6) Lowepro Omni Trekker & Trekker Extreme
Be prepared for anything with this rugged backpack bag and hard case. You can pack up to two camera bodies and a half-dozen lenses. The hard case is the real selling point, though, as it is airtight and waterproof.

7) Case Logic SLR/Computer Backpack
If you're on the go with your digital SLR camera, there's a good chance you'll need your laptop for storing images. No problem. This bag holds your camera body and lenses, as well as your laptop.

8) Lowepro Pro Roller Mini
For travel photography, this rolling camera bag that operates more like a suitcase can be really handy. You can fit two camera bodies and four lenses. You can also attach another small camera bag to this one, and attach a tripod.

Can someone point out some of the tactical errors in Saving Private Ryan?




AdmRose


Have heard about many tactical errors but haven't been able to sort them out.


Answer
There looks to be quite a few:
See these from the internet movie database:

* Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Several times when Corporal Upham is seen carrying .30 caliber ammunition belts just prior to and during the holding of the bridge scene, it appears that primers are missing; in fact, they were black, which made them look empty.

* Anachronisms: The phone cord in the Ryan farmhouse is coiled. Phone cords in 1944 were straight.

* Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When the army car drives toward the Ryan farmhouse, the fields are brown. While Iowa farm fields are normally green in June, there could have been a drought, or the crop could be wheat.

* Incorrectly regarded as goofs: As the squad travels at night, the flashes and sounds of far distant explosions are seen and heard roughly simultaneously. (The sound of an explosion a mile away should be heard some 5 seconds after the flash is seen.) The key is the word "roughly"; there are so many explosions that we may well be hearing one explosion around the time we see the next.

* Incorrectly regarded as goofs: General George Catlett Marshall is wearing General Staff lapel insignia. This is correct; there are photographs of him wearing these insignia.

* Crew or equipment visible: In the field scene (before they meet the German APC), we can see the camera's square shadow on Corporal Upham's shoulder.

* Continuity: After Miller & Co. leave the paratrooper rally point, there is an establishing shot showing them walking in a field. There are eight men in the field, when there should be only seven since Pvt. Caparzo has already been killed.

* Revealing mistakes: When the soldiers arrive at the 101st rally point, the same extra walks by, up to 4 times.

* Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the latter part of the movie, Capt. Miller uses the phrase "let's lock and load." Some have misheard this as "rock and roll, " which would be anachronistic.

* Incorrectly regarded as goofs: As Upham and Mellish are loading ammo in preparation for the final battle, Upham (who is smoking) is telling Mellish how he told the supply officer he didn't smoke before leaving England. In the earlier scene where Upham is talking with the German soldier, he shares a cigarette with him. He presumably started smoking in the interim.

* Continuity: When Upham is handed the .30 caliber ammo belt before the final battle, the direction the bullets are pointing changes between shots.

* Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Although the United States Air Force did not become a separate service until September 18th 1947, They were not labeled in general conversation by WWII era GI's as the Army Air Corps. When speaking of the Army's air component they were simply referred to as the "Air Force".

* Continuity: When Corporal Upham is watching the attack on the radar station through the scope, the scope turns in his hand between shots, but the crosshairs stay in the same position.

* Continuity: The soldier with a drooping mouth in the back of Miller's transport is seen later at the 101st Airborne rally point as the paratrooper with Ryan's deaf friend.

* Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The waterproof bags holding rifles on D-Day were indeed some kind of clear plastic.

* Continuity: When the soldiers are about to search through the Airborne's dog tags they head towards a single crate, meaning to use it as a table. When they reach the crate an ammo box has appeared, stacked on top. Jackson knocks the top box off.

* Continuity: The fuses on the sticky bombs get longer and shorter randomly.

* Revealing mistakes: The replica Tiger tanks were built from Russian T-34 medium tanks. You can clearly tell by looking at the running gear. Also, when the track is blown off the first Tiger, it keeps moving, indicating the drive sprocket is at the rear. German tanks had the drive sprocket at the front.

* Factual errors: When CPT Miller is showing SFC Horvath the location of the German machine gun nest with the mirror on his bayonet the angle they are looking from would not be showing them the machine gun nest as it is far too "obtuse." The machine gun nest is around the corner almost 90 degrees.

* Continuity: Near the end of the movie, before the attack, an American paratrooper is attaching the detonating cord to the detonator, beginning with the right-hand clamp. A little later, we see him again, but now the left-hand wire is attached and he's screwing down the right-hand clamp.

* Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the final battle, we see tanks with open roofs. While similar to the enclosed Panzer, these are in fact self-propelled guns, or "tank destroyers". The SPG that is destroyed with the petrol bombs early in the battle is a Marder III while Sgt. Horvath uses a bazooka to destroy a sav m/43 tank destroyer (both using a new German body and armament on a Czech chassis). The America

waterproof digital camera to 100 feet image
Q. its my first camping trip ever with friends in a lake...
what should i bring for entertainment.....
food???
how about clothes?? how many? what it is?
should i ask my friends what they bring so it won't be the same?
camping gear??? i have no idea on this.....
what the most important one to bring anyway..... what's in your list if you were to go??............


Answer
Memorial Weekend... This is when kids go wild. What type of lake are you going to? Aree you camping at an estblished campground or are you "roughing it"?

Let's try to bring you and your pals back in one piece with hopefully a smile and a story.

Clothes: Avoid cotton! Cotton absorbs water easier and will stay wet longet hence, if you get wet you'll cool down a lot faster and stay miserable. Only 100% synthetics and/or wool.

There's a lake, there's a beach there's water fun! Bring Shorts and a Shirt instead of swimming gear. Shorts are far more sturdy when it comes to sitting on rocks and less likely for you to have a "wardrobe malfunction."

So each day you are going to the lake you'll prolly get wet - you need new swimgear each day UNLESS you are able to properly wash/dry your stuff. Oh! Buy some WADERS from say Walmart or something... These are slip on water shoes that have a good sole to them so you won't get your toes hooked on someone's lost fishing line or some dope's broken beer bottle.

For wandering around the forest wear pants - unless you WANT poisen ivy and/or shrub scratches all over your legs. Wear layered clothing just in case the weather changes - undershirt, short sleeve and a light jacket. Wear synthetic or wool socks. Carry and extra pair just in case you get them wet - sucks to walk back with wet feet. =P

Do not wear tennishoes - they have no ankle support. Get some good hiking shoes - Big 5 always seems to have a sale on these. Carry a pair of working gloves just in case.

Make sure your pants/shorts have plenty of pockets which either have zippers OR bottons. You need some where's to put the following survival gear. Make sure you waterproof the following using ziplock baggies:

one bag (for making fires):
Book of matches, a bic lighter, a magnifying glass (small is fine as long as it is thick) and some of the lint from your mother's dryer.

one bag (for finding your way): Small LED flashlight, a compass, about 10 10" lengths of pink/red/yellow ribbons and 1 very small pocket knife.

one bag (for owees): 10 bandages small & large, liquid skin (you can get that from any pharmacy), a few sample packages of tylenol/aspirin/sudafed, metal tweezers, burt's bees rescue cream (little tin the size of a quarter)

one bag (for boredom): Deck of playing cards, chewing gum, an inflatable ball, a tiny pocket digital camera (key chain cam cost about $10 to $40), and a tiny laser pointer.

one bag (potty time): Bundles of toilet paper seperately rolled so that you don't need to pull out the whole thing for what you need, small 1 oz bottle of purell or other type of waterless hand sanitizer.

one bag (who you are): Your ID, your special medication AND an emergency card stating what you are allergic to, what meds you are taking and who should they contact in case of an emergency. Add some money to this too.

If you squeeze the air out of each of these baggies and you have plenty of pockets, there will be no prob.

This is minimal survival gear and can get you out of MOST trouble you will find yourself in.

Remember, you bring for you! Do not depend upon what other's bring. They may forget. Then you are SOL.

What are some things you need for a roadtrip?




Jenny [[VI


Some friends and I are thinking about a road trip during Spring Break, maybe Northern California [I live in Southern California]...and we have some ideas but we're not too sure.

Anything about a road trip will help! Renting car, food, destination, renting a room, etc.

Thanks! =)



Answer
Tips:
Don't eat at chain restaurants. Local restaurants are much better 95% of the time and much more fun 100% of the time.

Go easy on the map quest. Getting lost is part of the fun and will contribute to the memories made and stories to tell.

Keep an open mind.

Cell phones are to fun as sponges are to spills. Each member of the trip should hold another person's phone to ensure adherence to the rule. Only take them out if you are to make prank calls.

Get a AAA card! These guys can set you up with free maps, roadside assistance, and even directions to your final destination!

While not knowing where you'll end up is part of the fun, be sure you at least have a general idea of how you'll get back home, or you could be in trouble.

Digital is the way to go when taking travel photos. Just make sure you have plenty of fully-charged batteries and adequate storage capacity. If memory cards get full they can be downloaded to CD's at the photo departments at big box stores and pharmacies anywhere. Or, if staying with family or friends, just use their computers to backup to disc.

Dumpster dive! many places throw away good food constantly! supermarkets throw away everything, cafes throw away pastries and bagels and whats better than a dough nut log?

If possible hire a caravan it will be easier to store food, sleep and maybe watch some movies



Warnings:
Don't drive so far that you can't afford to get back.
Wear your seatbelt, or you could get in trouble!
Don't rat out your friends for embarrassing things they did upon your return.
Try not to get arrested. (Kindof like the cell phone analogy.)
Being in such close proximity for so long with certain friends can lead to the friendship ending, which can be especially awkward when you still have to drive 1000 miles back home with the guy.
Music can cause some dissension amongst the ranks if the tastes are vastly different. Just try to be accomodating and, if all else fails (assuming the car is yours), play the "It's my car and it's my CD player" card.



Things You'll Need:
Camera, film, batteries
Comfortable clothes
Cooler
Foodstuffs
Music (seriously)
Sunglasses
Notebook - write down funny things down so you don't forget
Gallon of water
Gallon of oil (for your car)
50-100 feet of rope
Duct tape
First aid kit
Flashlight (one that cranks or shakes to provide power, preferably)
Bug spray
Jumper cables
Pocket knife
Compass
Umbrella
Blanket(s)
Maps (up to date and waterproof if possible)
Sunscreen
Toiletries
Slip on shoes for when you're only out of the car for a quick stop

Good luck.. theres more stuff on the site down thurrr!

What is a good shock/dust/water proof digital camera? For soldier in Afghanistan.?

waterproof digital camera gopro on ... -gopro-hero-digital-camera-gopro-hero-digital-camera.jpg
waterproof digital camera gopro image



Sharon F


I am looking for good digital camera for a present for soldier in Afghanistan. It will have to be a tough camera....any suggestions? Preferably under $300.


Answer
I own a GoPro HD 1080p and love it. I use it on my motorcycle during races, snowboarding, and mountain biking. I have also taken it under water for some fun too. It comes with 2 different types of cases (1 waterproof/1 not WP for better sound) and a TON of mounting options. I found mine for $240 and it came with a bunch of extra goodies.

There is also the Contour HD. Smaller and more focused on helmet mounting. It is cheaper though and gives you another option from which to choose.

Those are the two best on the market right now.

Can you help me weigh my options for underwater photography on a budget?




audrey


I am going to Hawaii for winter break. I'd love to take a camera snorkeling with me. I have a Canon AE-1 Program (an old film SLR) and a pretty good Sony point-and-shoot (Cybershot DSC H20). I've heard that underwater housing for the AE-1 is incredibly hard to come by, so I guess my options are:
1. A waterproof bag for my Canon, though this is probably not the best option because it would make it very difficult to manually focus
2. A bag or housing for my Sony. I have no idea if this is a good option or not. Where do I find either of these things, and how much would they cost?
3. I've been thinking about buying the cheapest GoPro. Is it worth it in terms of picture quality? Is it very durable? If so, this might be a good option because I'm pretty active outdoors. I've been in lots of situations where taking a camera around has made me very nervous, for example when climbing a tree. If the GoPro can stand some banging around, and if its quality is good, it would be a good investment.
4. A disposable waterproof camera. I haven't been too impressed with photos I've seen from disposables, but maybe there are good disposables out there that you know of. Cheap and simple... sounds pretty appealing.



Answer
A waterproof bag is going to cost you around $400.

A waterproof housing for that camera will cost around $1,800.

Gopros are great for video, but they are really hard to compose still images with.


I don't think any of those options is good. Personally I would look into buying a waterproof point and shoot. Something like a Sony Cybershot DSC-TF1. It is $198, totally waterproof, and 16 megapixels which is far more resolution than you can get with the AE-1 even if you are using the finest grain transparency film.





Also, having done underwater photography with a film camera, I can attest that it is a major pain in the ass. White balance and available light are effected heavily by depth. At 30 feet, you need a deep red filter and a lot of extra light (also gelled for color balance) to get normal looking images. Underwater film photography is a very complicated process, made more so by only having 36 exposures, and the inability to change the film speed once you are in the water.


With a digital point and shoot, it is so much easier. You can use a higher ISO and auto or underwater white balance to get images that still look good with little or no effort. It is also a lot easier to see the LCD than look through a viewfinder with a diving mask on.

Answer
My waterproof camera cost about 125$. It was money well spent. I've had it for a year now and it's great and works wonderfully. You can buy a

Answer
I just went snorkeling in Key West, it was pretty cool.

Snorkeling's fun and not hard to figure out once you get in the water. You'll have a mask on your face that covers your eyes and nose. The snorkel is just a tube that hooks on the side of your goggles. One end goes in your mouth and has little rubber prongs for you to bite and keep it in your mouth(don't bite through them). The other end stays above water if your floating face down.

They'll probably have some kind of defogger for you, but a good idea is that once you get in the water you leave the mask on your face. Taking it off and on gets more moisture in it and makes it fog up easier.

You'll have flippers on, when you kick, you kick in a scissor motion with stiff knees. Like you're trying to push the water behind you with your flippers.

You'll probably have some kind of floatation vest called a boyancy compensator. Which is basically an air filled(or not) life vest which you can blow into for some extra floatation, or keep it flat if you like to dive down a lot.

So basically you just float in the water face down and kick around a look at stuff while breathing through your snorkel. Dive down here and there to check out things up close.

When you resurface after diving down you can just blow the water out of you snorkel by sort of speaking a "Teh" sound into the snorkel. This is much quicker than taking your head out of the water and dumping the snorkel. Just practice and you'll figure it out.

At the one we went to we were instructed to not swim through water less than 7 feet deep so large waves wouldn't make us bob down onto the rocks and coral.

I didn't have any luck with the underwater disposable camera I used.

this summer we want it to be the best. we've thought of fun stuff to do like, buy an underwater camera and take pictures with it, paint a treehouse, camp, see several movies in a row, etc but we need new fun ideas. help!


Answer
21 THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOUR 21

1.) TAKE A ROAD TRIP.
Mapping the route, singing at the top of your lungs, and discovering new towns with friends is the ultimate bonding experience.

2.) LEARN TO PLAY A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.
I can play only a few chords, but I love the expressive power of music--and the possibility that one day you can learn to create something beautiful through it.

3.) GO SKINNY-DIPPING!
It's the most liberating thing ever. You have to let go of your insecurities when you take off your clothes. But you're hidden by the water--so it's like bending the rules. Who decided we have to wear clothes anyway?

4.) SAVE $1,000.
Just seeing that big number in your bank account is rewarding --knowing you did it alone.

5.) KNOW YOUR GRANDPARENTS.
Ask them (or your parents) about their lives at your age. You might be shocked by how much insight they have--and the crazy things they did!

6.) BUY A LOTTERY TICKET.
But just one. Everyone should take one-million-to-one shot in their lives--it's fun to dream such a big and outrageous dream.

7.) WIN AN AWARD.
It doesn't matter if it's a contest for role models or pie-eating--you can be the best at something. And there's no fulfillment quite like everyone else knowing it too.

8.) SAY "I LOVE YOU".
It takes courage to be vulnerable. But it's the only way to create the possibility that someone will love you back the way you deserve.

9.) LEARN TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT.
You never know when you'll get into a situation where you may need to know how. Plus, in terms of gas, these cars are better on your wallet.

10.) MILK A COW.
I was terrified to do it, but conquering this small thing helped me do even bigger scary stuff.

11.) FORGIVE SOMEONE.
A girl wrote "b****" on my locker when I was 16, and it always ate away at me inside. But when I made amends with her, the bad feelings evaporated.

12.) HAVE YOUR FORTUNE TOLD.
Sure, it's kind of silly. But doing it is really a reminder that in the end, only you hold the power to chart your own destiny.

13.) GO TO A DRIVE-IN.
Seriously the best place on earth! Where else can you watch a movie, get a great burger, talk and walk around with friends, and see the stars--all at the same time?

14.) DO YOUR OWN LAUNDRY.
It's the first step on the long (but gratifying) road to independence.

15.) RIDE A HORSE.
Okay, it might sound cheesy, but when you connect with this animal and the wind blows through your hair, it's the closest feeling to real freedom.

16.) DONATE YOUR FORMAL DRESS.
You'll give someone the chance to be a princess for one night. (And yes, it's okay to feel like one!)

17.) SEE THE OCEAN.
I felt so small next to this huge, timeless thing--and it inspired me to make the most of my life.

18.) WAITRESS ATLEAST ONCE.
Serving someone is humbling, plus it teaches you how to communicate and multitask--two skills you'll use forever.

19.) SEE ONE THING THAT IS "THE WORLD'S LARGEST"
Even if it's just a frying pan--at least it can be your temporary claim to fame!

20.) LEAVE THE COUNTRY.
Going to England, I realized how narrow my world really was--and that travel was the best way I could expand it.

21.) LEARN TO LOVE YOUR BODY.
I'm just now starting to feel perfect as I am because I have knobby knees and moles--not in spite of them.
