Superzoom camera with 5 megapixel sensor, 36-435mm optics, plus 3x digital zoom. The lens is f2.8 throughout the entire zoom range and it is stabilized (I can often take perfectly steady pictures at 35mm, with an exposure of 1/5th of sec.). Excellent for wildlife, landscapes and any low light condition.

A portable CD recorder, stand alone (no PC required) lets me to burn the CDs on place (it accepts the memory cards directly and burns the CD with a single button press), giving me a virtually unlimited picture capacity. Just to be safe, an additional backup of the pictures is made each time on a portable hard drive, accepting memory cards as well (no PC required).
