Peak travel season is here,it’s time to think about harmmocks and umbrella drinks-or rock climbing and reef diving,whatever your definition of leisure.While it’s great to take a break from those spreadsheets,technology can also work to enhance your holidays.
For enduring vacation videos,instead of your camera phone,try a digital camcorder like Cisco’s Flip MinoHD($199.99 for the 60-minute model),which has become a favourite due to its compact-ness and usability(it plugs into any USB port sans cables).The MinoHD can capture video in widescreen High Definition(or HD)for you to cherish forever.
SLRs may take beautiful photos,but they can be a handful if you like to travel light.One solution is the rugged FujiFilm Finepix XP10,which offers protection from the elements and still takes12-megapixel shots with up to 5x optical zoom.Adventurers and ecotourists know that a durable GPS hand-held is invaluable for jaunts on roads less travelled.The Garmin Oregon is remarkable:a built-in compass and altimeter,waterproof,with a colour touchscreen displaying standard road maps and 3D topography for off-roading,as well as woreless connectivity for sharing routes and other information.
