I'm planning on staying my summer (between 6 and 8 weeks) in Poland with some of my family. Usually, I bring a normal camera with film and what not but it's always a hassle getting the pictures developed. I want to bring my digital camera with me so I can take pictures. The camera is battery powered and I will have limited access to my uncle's computer, but I won't be able to upload the pictures I don't think. Any tips or ideas for bringing the digital camera or is just a bad idea?

Just get a bigger memory chip and an adaptor for your battery recharger.

I would definately take the digital camera. Instead of uploading your photos, you can have CDs made in Poland, but the price of memory cards have come down. Just take a couple of 2or 4GB cards, depending on how many pictures you usually take and how many pixels there are in your photos.
ReplyDeleteYou can buy batteries ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.. and that includes third world markets. Just get a larger memory chip and don't shoot those huge photos.. a 640x480 image is good for nice 5x7 photos and can be blown up to 8x10 so you don't need a huge image.
ReplyDeleteI have carried a digital camera in foreign countries since 1998 and never have regreted it.

ReplyDeleteMy dad ALWAYS brings his digital cammera with him to Poland and we go every year. He got one of those 3 dollar converter thingie from radio shack to load his batteries in the normal charger. But if yours runs on just regular AA batteries then you can find those in basically any store (when in doubt go to Carrefour they have EVERYTHING). As for the photos I'd just buy a big memmory card or bring a laptop. Also make sure you set your cammera to make smaller images. As for film cammeras I have never had trouble getting the film developed in Poland but whatever.
