What kind of camera do you use while on vacation? Why?

jstducky · 03-14-2006, 05:06 PM

I use my digital camera, I've got 2 of them now!

If we're doing a water activity like snorkeling or kayaking, then I buy an underwater camera.

I have also bought a disposable black and white film camera to take black and whites.

Disposable...I don't have to worry about loosing a good digital camera. Also it allows for each to have one, 3 of us. We then get the Panorama camera and underwater cameras. So I just get a bunch.

I checked off both the digital and the disposable.....digital for the majority of the trip....disposable for for underwater shots I take while snorkeling/SCUBA diving....

Canon 20d and Minolta A1 digital SLRs. Both with telephoto zooms.

We don't take the Canon on boat excursions or if we are going into "unknown" situations...but we really must have our cameras...

We keep them close at hand and strapped tightly for security. You can't beat 8MP RAW mode digital photos... (not yet anyway...)

All shot above water since 2 years ago have been on my Nikon 5700. Great camera and excellent quality pictures. A chap I met on this past cruise had one, which unfortunately stopped working early in the cruise. He also had a digital underwater camera he used for the rest of the trip. I may have to look into that for the future.

digital underwater? as in he didn't need an underwater casing for it? interesting...

a chap... i haven't heard that term in a long time!

I use a Nikon D70 here, a fantastic and easy-to-use digital camera.

I use an Olympus Stylus 800. I love it. Large viewing screen ... great detail digital photos!
