Traveling with a Digital Camera

And have fun!

Thanks, this sounds promising so far!

you can either get a plug adapter or a figure 8 power lead for the countries you visit/

"Not for use with computers" = not for use with desktops that contain their own xformer inside the case, obv laptops don't have this problem either

I took this to extremes in Europe, inadvertently, because some people thought I was a homeless person, I guess from the way I dressed (does wool plaid and flannel = homeless?). Once when I was sitting on a bench, waiting for a bus, a passerby offered me his half-full bottle of Coke, although I didn't think I looked particularly destitute or haggard. But yes, I was never robbed.

Travelling to a couple of countries this year, how are regimes with carrying large expensive digital cameras on board planes at the moment, to eastern europe and america ?

advise? Are there certain items which i shouldn't include in my camera hand luggage bag, like all the accessories. Or am I worrying about nothing?

I guess it depends on what kinds of accessories you're talking about.

i don't see where you'd have a problem unless the accessories would be mistaken for weapons or something.

also i'm not sure if it's a good idea to try to blend in and not look like a tourist in eastern europe, if you're female and it involves wearing high heels at all times. i tried last year and eventually just gave up.

Unless you have a huge bottle of liquid or gel lens cleaner, the worst I've seen happen in the US is they have you take the camera out of the bag - as they do computers. If you have a monopod that extends out to 3 or 4 feet, you might want to pack that in checked baggage.
