Review: Travel photo gear I love – A Dangerous Business
I admitted in last week’s weekend travel reading that I am not a big fan of technology when I travel. However, Amanda’s review of this travel gear for photos got me excited. As a result of her post, I bought the Kodak Playsport and will try it out this weekend. However, there are some other great gadgets as well. I am still not a huge fan or technology and gadgets when I travel but some are worth having.
What’s your favorite travel gear on the road?

Thanks for the mention, Jeremy! I’m glad my post was helpful to you, and I’m definitely interested in finding out what you think of the Playsport!
Amanda recently posted..Travel Scene: Cuba Street in Wellington, New Zealand
Thanks Amanda! I actually tried it out today. I like it but I have to get used to using it. I think I was a little too fast in my movements so the video wasn’t as nice as I wanted. As for the photos, I was a little disappointed using it for that as my Nikon point and shoot seems to work much better.
Although I cannot get any of it while I’m in South America, I’ll have to check out the photo gear review.

My photography is OK – especially when you can fix stuff with the photo editing software. I definitely need to work on my videos though!
1. We love San Francisco! My husband says he could actually live there – except our children and grandchild are in Lexington, KY so that will never happen! We love the Blue Mermaid restaurant at Fisherman’s Wharf; GREAT chowder.
2. I loved their post about Paris for kids; I never would have considered it. I saw several kids on our cruise recently that looked pretty darn bored – there was one of our foodie tour of Portland. Seriously, did they think the kid would like that??
3. I’m enjoying the romance stories on her blog; my husband referred to me recently as his “lovely bride of 34 years”. Yeah, we are pretty happy together.
4. My favorite travel gear has got to be my iPad. Recently downloaded a library book while sitting in an airport half a continent away – pretty cool!
