There are four easy tips that can help you prepare better for your next trip. Hey there, I will show you in this section the most practical "easy to use" steps for the next trip that you have in mind. Remember that we usually prepare our clothes, toothbrush, shoes, flying tickets, reservation.. etc, everything for the next couples weeks outside home, but we usually forget to prepare our camera for the next couples weeks, like it or not (and for experience) you end in your first week of your vacation buying a 35-mm disposable camera or a new expensive memory card and end up with less money in your pocket. Don't miss any-moment with this tips!!! please I beging you... follow up this tips, you'll thank me!! Batteries Charge them, pack them, use them Don't forget before go to sleep, charge the batteries, but if they are almost full or 1/2 full, maybe isn't a good idea to recharge them yet, but consider to take with you a replacement for your batteries. If you use a non-rechargeable batteries, you have to make sure buy a new pair before leave to your trip. Remember if you have a rechargeable batteries, you have to make sure bring with you the battery charger for your trip. Make sure if you go outside of the USA, bring a transformer for the battery charger, because you may have the problem of different volts (110v - 240 v). How many memory cards? Be prepare for your next trip I always suggest to my friends when they buy their new digital camera, buy an extra memory card beside the one with comes with their digital camera. if you have already have a digital camera and a memory card, well then I suggest to get one or two more (depend of the capacity of your memory card) it should be fine for your next trip without have to download your photos in your whole trip. Before we move on to next tips, I want to stop and before you leave from your house, make sure you empty your memory cards, because what useful could be a memory card with no left space left. And if is possible take your laptop with you, like this you can empty your memory cards at night in your room. Camera Bag Never leave your home without one This is the most important thing beside your camera. Why?, well if you like the order and maintain everything in one place, this is it. With a camera bag, not only you are going to take an extra batteries, an extra memory card, it protect your camera from scratches... I love my camera and I never leave my house with my Digital Camera without it's bag, it is always ready. I always let the camera bag for my next trip with an extra batteries, an extra memory card and a cloth for cleaning the lens (clean it once in a while). So this is something you must remember to bring to your next trip. (remember, your next trip could be at your mom's house for a couple hours, but with everything in place, you don't have to worry for miss any- memorable moment) Tripod or mini-tripod? Which one to bring? Well, I suggest a mini-tripod if you are going to take pictures from your family. But if you are a professional or amateur photographer and you make this trip to take beautiful scenarios, you may consider the trippod then, or even both. The thing with the tripods, is just bring stability while you taking a picture. Did you like it? Don't keep it, share it!! Good Luck.
