Question

i hear that digital cameras mess up when they go through the Xray same thing for the film in Dispossibles

also would i have a higher likely hood of getting a digital camers stolen

Answer 1

i dont know how you will get it through the airport but, i recommend a digital camera with at least a 4gb memory card that way you can take about 1200 pics at one time and wouldnt have to worry about the amount of pictures you take.

Answer 2

Digital cameras are so much more feature packed and convenient, even with some risk of theft, I would bring a digital camera instead of disposables. Few tips and things to keep in mind:

- Get an inexpensive digital camera if you are worried about theft (e.g., Canon PowerShot A580).

- Get multiple smaller capacity memory cards (e.g., four 1 GB) in case the camera gets stolen.

- Get a pocketable ultra compact camera and keep it close (e.g., Canon PowerShot SD1100).

- Regarding airport security scanner, I have never experienced memory card failures.

- Bring an international power adapter for the charger or get a camera that uses standard AA or AAA batteries (e.g., Canon PowerShot A580, A590).
