DSLR or Digital camera for backpacking Asia?

flying_pig

I plan on backpacking SE Asia next summer & am looking into getting a decent camera for it. Currently I only have a shared Fuji digital camera & the 3mp camera on my phone.

I sit worth my while investing in an entry level DSLR? I do alot of travelling & like taking plenty of pictures. If so what model might suit me best or should i just get a decent digital camera?

Nothing to fancy or too expensive - prices would help & i can see if they're out my price range. Just for good pictures taken mainly during the day as my existing phone camera will do for pubs/club pictures.

Any help would be great! Cheers.
I've just spotted a Nikon D40 on Amazon for £220, £130 cheaper than the D60.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Answer
Considering where you are going, and what you are intending, I would be considering a small (entry level) DSLR, such as the D40 or D60, but also considering a more compact camera with a large built in zoom - this would be lighter, and more compact than any SLR if you are traveling light.

There are a whole range of others in this same category - they mostly have some SLR features, but are smaller and generally do not have interchangable lenses.

If you are definitely set on a SLR - the D40 or D60 are probably the way to go, but remember that the D60 is a considerably newer model than the D40.

Good Luck!

Where can I purchase an anti theft dslr camera backpack (NOT a sling one) for a Nikon d7100?

Hey there

I am looking to purchase a dslr camera backpack for a nikon d7100. I would prefer an anti-theft one. NOT a sling one, one with two straps. (I will get a sling for my camera too, but right now I am looking for a place to purchase the backpack.) Thank you!

A good camera bag is a one that draws less attention like the cloak bag....or the national geographic bags... Backpacks are very versatile
