Although my Camino walk doesn’t start until next week, I leave the house tomorrow. That means today is packing day. How do I fit all of this . . .
. . . into this?
I’m seriously considering changing the camera I take from my “new” Pentax point and shoot to my old, faithful, Canon.
Pros and cons for each:
Pentax –
- small and flat
- retractable lens
- 280 gm. with charger
- must take charger
- 5x zoom lens
- takes good photos
- 12.1 megapixels
Canon –
- 540 gms with batteries
- lens doesn’t retract
- more versatile photos
- takes AA batteries, I won’t need to carry a charger
- 72x zoom
- 5 megapixels
- takes good photos
I’m torn between these two. What do you think?
Time is of the essence. Please help. Thanks.
Are you bringing every thing on the table with you? I am hovering around 13lbs, pack included, but have a lot less stuff – mind you I realized I forgot a few items as it was just a trial run.
Buen Camino!
Loose as much as possible luggage, but take your best camera, the photos will be a huge part of your memory of the Camino. And blog along the way, nearly every place have internet access… Buen Camino… ps- the less you carry, the more you will enjoy it- keep it under 10 kg’ s!
Hey, Rider! Thanks for your comment about which camera to take. I am in France finally and have just gotten online, yours is the first comment I’m replying to! I’ve been taking pictures here with both cameras and I think I am going to take the smaller one, although I have to worry about the battery. If you see pictures in the next few days on my blog, let me know if you spot a difference in quality. Thanks so much for following me and for your support. I need it!
