Travel Gear & Photography Forum Threads for the week of October 16, 2006

Check out these topics currently being discussed on the Travel Gear and Photography forums at BootsnAll:

• Dave925 has begun his quest to find his RTW digital camera. His top choice is the Canon PowerShot SD630 6MP Elph, but he’s concerned about the need to use the software that comes with it. Got any suggestions for other cameras he should look at?
• If you want to be able to record sounds to go with your pictures, asks klinck, what’s the best way to do that?
• There are a bunch of backpack-related topics on the boards this week, including a discussion about frameless packs (people seem to either love them or loathe them), a question about whether something described as an “entry level pack” – obviously on the less expensive end of things – is going to be sturdy enough for a multi-month trip, someone doing a “pack off” between a few finalists and hoping for input, and with perhaps the most popular question of all time (at least as it relates to packs) – which is the perfect pack for my round the world trip? Obviously, there’s quite a bit in the way of questions… Got answers?
• Adam Shane is prepping for his 1-2 year round the world trip, and is in the market for some kind of multi-tool. Everyone’s got their favorite – what’s yours?
