Where did you say you are taking that camera?

Summary, or Are you still confused?

Maybe my ramblings have helped you to solve your touring with a digital camera questions and issues. Maybe I've just created more confusion by mentioning questions you didn't even know you had!

There are a lot of cameras out there - there are 21 manufacturers listed on the Digital Photography Review site, and while there are a couple that only list one or two cameras, most list significantly more than that. Plus, each one of us has different questions and issues about touring with our digital cameras. As I mentioned in the beginning of this article, I don't have all of the answers. Actually, I don't think anyone does!

What do you do now if you still have questions or if you'd like to talk something else with someone who has toured using a digital camera?

Want to do more reading about the new toys that you plan to add to your collection? Two good reading places are: There are many more sites out there too, but these are the sites I usually go to. Here's what I'd recommend if you still have questions:
  • Post your question in my guestbook and I'll try to answer it.
  • Post your question in the Digital Gear forum on this website.
  • Post your question in the guestbook of one of the authors I've referenced in this article.
  • Post your question in the Cameras forum on Digital Grin, a photography forum where some very experienced photographers live.
There are enough of us who have some experience with our toys - new or not - that you should be able to get at least one answer. And remember... this decision is yours, not mine, and not the decision of your friends and acquaintances. Make sure that your purchase meets your needs, and your budget. Happy touring - and please share your journeys and your pictures with us!
