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.

CAMERA SENSOR SIZE SIZE COMPARISON TO APS-C SENSOR
  Full Frame (1X) Full Frame is 2.4 times the size of APS-C
SONY NEX-5N (1.5X), CANON REBEL (1.6X) APS-C (Sony 1.5X crop)  
  Four Thirds (2X crop) APS-C is 1.5 times the size of Four Thirds
  Nikon 1 (2.7X crop) APS-C is 3 times the size of Nikon 1
  1/2.3" Compact Camera (5.6X crop) APS-C is 13 times the size of 1/2.3"
SONY SR11 1/3" Camcorder (8X crop) APS-C is 21 times the size of 1/3"

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.

24 frames per second: To pause, right click on the clip and deselect "Play".

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.
