Digital cameras

The new generation of mid-range compact digital cameras makes it easier than ever to record our travels in sharp, snappy pictures - without the fiddly adjusting required by a 35mm single lens reflex (SLR) camera. Not much bigger than a simple point-and-shoot, and not much harder to use, these sophisticated compacts are nowhere as heavy or bulky as an SLR - so you don't have to risk excess baggage charges - and can deliver results which are almost as impressive.
