Photography

If you demand on bringing one of those football-sized SLRs so you can take beautiful pictures all the time, good for you. You will have beautiful pictures.

For the rest of us there is a plethora of super-compact cameras on the market that take excellent pictures as well. I'm sure I don't have to convince you of the advantages of having a camera that fits in your pocket vs. having a camera that needs a wheelbarrow. For those of you who want to backup your pictures, don't bring your laptop. Bring the cable or a little USB reader and upload the pictures once or twice a week to an internet photo website like Flickr. Comfort, security, no extra weight.

Canon seems to be the leader in the microscopic camera category, though Sony has some strong models as well. The only things that matter to me for cameras besides photo quality are ease of use and battery life, the latter of which Sony and Casio seem to lead the pack. But I'm not the camera expert.
