It is now time to choose your camera to accompany you during your adventure trips. You can either bring a still camera and/or a video camera (handycam) to record exiting moments of your trips. Depending on your destination, certain types of camera will do a great job for you.
- Mountain areas; characterized by high altitude, low temperature, and often high humidity (wet and misty). Make sure you have dry case, or, dry bag (or at least plastic bags) to protect your camera. Due to misty or cloudy conditions, please make sure that your camera can work under low light conditions. Manual cameras where you can adjust speed and diaphragm are ideal. However, some pocket cameras also have options for low light conditions (ie: night photos, candles, etc.).
- Beach, oceans, and seas; open areas with plenty of light. Be cautious also with the humidity and splash. Seawater can harm electronic equipments. Choosing waterproof camera will be very useful and comfortable under this conditions. Dry case and dry bags are also useful, but they can be quite troublesome when you catch unexpected moments, and have to struggle to get your cameras out from the dry case/dry bag.
- Forests; similar conditions with mountain areas. Some forest areas may be populated with vegetations that can damage your equipments (and your skin) such as thorns, hanging vines, dripping sap, etc. Please, watch out for these conditions by having proper protection for your equipments.
In most cases, pocket cameras are very good. They are light, small, and easy to operate. This is ideal in the places where you have to hike or walk a long distance, as they don't burdened you so much. Most digital pocket cameras can take great, high resolution pictures.
