Photographic Preparations

Over the last five years, I've spent more than I probably should have on camera equipment. A significant portion of the Iceland Trip Fund was spent in going digital for the first time. This meant a whole other set of devices to lug around, but which could complement the SLR camera.

Rather surprisingly, in the end I had brought just about everything that I needed on the trip, and thankfully, it all fit snugly into one small camera bag:

Canon PowerShot A80
Sandisk Extreme CompactFlash 512 MB
Transcend CompactFlash 256 MB
Panasonic BQ-390A NiMH quick charger

Canon Rebel G (EOS 500N)
Canon EF 22-55 mm/f3.5-5.6 USM (default lens)
Canon EF 28 mm/f2.8
Canon EF 50 mm/f1.8 Mk II

Decided not to bring, and regretted it:
52 mm circular polarizer

Decided not to bring, and wouldn't have used anyway:
Canon EF 75-300 mm/f4.0-5.6 USM Mk III
Tripod (throwing one into the car trunk for a road trip is not the same as carrying one up a mountain or around Europe!)
