When traveling, I go through a rather thorough, yet painful process of figuring out what the heck electronics I should take along. On Saturday, Sara and I will be traveling to Finland and Sweden, so the process begins.
Here is most of what I use today in terms of portable electronics, from the white lens in the upper-left, spinning counter-clockwise:
Canon Lenses
Cameras
Phones / portable music / Readers
Computers
- 15.4" Dell Studio 1537 (Sara's)
- 12.1" Dell L attitude D420
Flashes
Canon Vixia HF100 Camcorder
Media players / photo dumpers
- Vosonic VP8390 160GB
- Vosonic VP6230 120GB
GPS
Whew! So traveling, sort-of light, I'll take the Canon 7D, the 24-105, 10-22, 28mm and the 50mm. Only one flash, a 430ex as I don't plan on shooting much with flash. Canon S95 is small and does video, so that's going. Polaroid is not needed as we aren't going in the water. My phone is a necessity (though it's CDMA, WiFi makes it very useful for everything but phone calls). Ipod touches will stay back for Ian (so we can do Facetime w/ the iPad 2, which we will take). Kindles come along as does my laptop. May take both Vosonics for redundant photo copying, camcorder stays as does the nuvi (not taking a car), but Oregon goes for geocaching and general navigation. If you actually made it this far, congrats, you are a nerd.
