TRAVEL GEAR = calculated compromises between image quality verses size and weight.
This kit has 18-480mm equivalent coverage for photos and Full-HD videos:
Here are some of our MUST-HAVE FEATURES: APS-C DSLR SENSOR:
The APS-C dSLR sensor produces noticeably better image quality under low-light situations than the tiny chips found inside the compact camera and camcorder; therefore, we try to use our two APS-C cameras - Sony NEX-5N and Canon Rebel - as much as possible.
Full Frame ISO 12800 image quality roughly = APS-C ISO 6400 = Four Third ISO 3200 = Nikon 1 ISO 1600 = P&S ISO 800
1080 HD @ 60 FRAMES PER SECOND:
The differences between frame rates are quite noticeable on a large-screen HDTV, especially when viewing panning shots of fast-moving subjects like children running around the playground. Here's a simple panning shot recorded in 1080 60p (32MB .MTS), 30p (15MB .MP4), and 24p (26MB .MTS) to show how much smoother 60p really is.

UNDERWATER HOUSING:
We love scuba diving and other water sports so we always bring along a camera with a waterproof case for fun and weather related events. RAW:
RAW is a must-have feature for still photography because:
Correcting inaccurate White Balance is best done in RAW.
Under difficult lighting situations, far more details can be captured shooting RAW.
However, RAW is currently only available for photos; therefore, people who value videos as much as stills must learn to use Custom White Balance.
