Good digital camera able to produce print quality images?
Hi Jeff
You may find the later series of Cannon G are better in low light. I have a G9 and don't think I have that problem. They are up to 12 now. I would love one of the later ones where the lens can be swivelled high or low, so easy to take shots low down
Regards Gail.

Do you know how many things you should pack?
[quote:58246d1877="Dankuna"]Ok, I was wondering do I know how many things I need for three day travel? I didn't know so i start to list them:
1. socks (two pairs are minimum depending on time of year)
2. undershirt (two pieces, it should be same colour, preferable with to match all shirts)
3. underpants (two pieces minimum)
4. pyjama (one piece, model that takes less space in your bag)
5. spare shirt (one piece with universal colour, light colours)
6. toothbrush (look for travel models)
7. toothpaste (also check small travel packs)
8. deodorant (any kind, not in glass pack)
9. shaver (use your standard one)
10. shaving creme (use your standard one)
11. recharger (for all kind of mobile devices, depending of quantity you have desirable to have universal one)
And I found number. It is only 10!
Of course this number is related to male travel. For woman I suppose the is much longer. Maybe you can write list of female things for travel?

what's your favorite camping gear
[quote:5bd60355ea="BadlyBurnt"]I'd have to say that without a doubt my favorite piece of "camping gear" is my campervan :lol:
She's a 1992 MB100D called "Merceditas" 280000 kms clocked up so far throughout Europe and Morocco.

Things you have to have for perfect Camping outdoors
Don't forget to bring a flashlight for camping. It's easy to be forgotten. I always bring a XR-E Q5 LED Flashlight SOS mode Xeccon L23, which is quite useful and helpful!.

Suncreams
I have also suffered from this problem, I find that it helps if you put the suncream on before you leave the house . I think this helps because it means you are putting the suncream onto totaly dry skin which helps it soak in a little. If on the other hand you wait untill you are down the pool or beach then its too late , you've already started sweating and are effectively puting it on over a thin film of water (sweat), which means it just doesn't stick and ends up in your eyes.
I also find that the gel types stay on better than the creams - especialy high protection factors..

travels laptop or itouch for wifi
[quote]...could I use an iTouch with its wifi capabilities and double this up as my MP3 player on travels?[/quote]
If you plan to write a lot I think that it is better to have a real keyboard; writing on small touch screen is doable only with small messages..

Best Camera for Travel
This Go Pro is very interesting, thank you!!
I used another waterproof camera, the Sanyo Xacti:
http://sanyo.com/xacti/english/
good quality image and robustness, it is also comfortable to take it in hand when shooting; the only problem is that it seems impossible to fix it on a mount..

Spending lonely nights in your hotel...?
The problem is that there are only two available skirts, red or black. I like blue instead....

which is the best laptop while traveling around the world?
I would consider a new class of cloud-laptop which is arriving in these days; the first are from Google:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromebook
From the news I have, they use main software only from internet, but are able to do simple tasks also by theirselves (for example, writing articles for the blog offline).
They should be lighter and cheaper than standard laptops, and - if you store your data in internet when connection is available - there is also the advantage that your data is in a quite safe place, so that if you lose or break the computer all is still available as before..
