Work as a solution, but I don't think I would be happy with the Belkin card reader's slow Noīattery, but does run off 120V-240V and is fairly resonable at $130. The Apacer CD Burners are products of which I was not aware. That's why I thought taking 15 rolls of film I went to Zion NP a few months ago and thought it a littleĬrazy that I had with me five seperate battery/power systems! (Power Book, DSLR, iPod, DVĬamcorder, Cell Phone) I guess that's progress. (Too bad I have a Mini Trekker already!) The other reason I'd like to avoid the laptop is just The LowePro Compu Trekker looks like a good solution if I bring a laptop. We will be taking our two young children and airport security is Good suggestions and ideas I hadn't considered. Email and instant messaging were much more convenient than telephones for keeping in touch with people back in the US, and posting same-day photos to my Web site was certainly fun. Also, some of our hotels had in-room Internet service, which was very useful and would have been useless without the computer. It was really nice to be able to review photos on the computer. I had the computer's CD burner and a supply of CD-Rs with me, but I never used them. I also had a 30-GB drive in an external USB case, and every few days I'd make backup copies onto it. The backpack's built-in rain cover was very handy during a torrential thunderstorm on the Tourmalet.Įvery day, I transferred my photos onto the computer's 80-GB hard drive. The only times I took the computer (and some other items) out of the backpack was when we hiked up and down the Col du Tourmalet in the Pyrenees and l'Alpe d'Huez in the Alps. In France, it was with me every day, and spent many hours, fully loaded, on my back while alongside the Tour course. This backpack fit in the airliners' overhead luggage compartments. I had my D70, 18-70mm kit lens, 70-200mm f/2.8 VR, TC-14E II, SB-800, batteries, chargers, filters, cables, notebook computer, computer accessories, etc. In July, my wife and I spent 2.5 weeks in France, following the last two weeks of the Tour de France and then spending some extra time around Paris. I'm sure you have your reasons for not wanting to bring along your computer, but if it's because of luggage concerns, there are convenient options available. Thought about maybe picking up a medium format camera for better enlargements, but I will take the F3 regardless, as I need two cameras (one for my wife). Maybe film is the answer for simplicity and ultimate I reallyĭon't want to deal with the laptop. I was thinking that I may be able to take a couple of 512mb CF cards andĭump those to CDs when possible (if I can find a kiosk or friend with a burner). I would appreciate any suggestions or advice, particularly regarding the storage ofĭigital images. Printing (16x24, maybe even 20x30), similiar to what you see on my website Now after using the D70 extensively I'mīeginning to rethink leaving it home. I had originally planned to buyĪnother film body (N80, N90s or F100?) for this trip, take that with the F3 and leave theĭ70 home. I've since sold the N80 and now have a D70. In November, I am traveling to Venice, Slovenia and Croatia.
