Luminous Landscape have published an interesting article by Scott L. Robertson about going on Safari with a digital camera. Scott highlights the kinds of issues that every traveller with a DSLR may face, and outlines how he overcame them.

“Traveling to Africa with a digital camera kit is not without problems, but there are simply too many benefits to ignore. The ability to instantly review shots and adjust or correct exposure problems in the field cannot be underestimated. Considering the number of frames I shot on our trip, had I shot them all on my favorite transparency films, Fuji Velvia and Provia 100F, I would have spent enough on film and processing to buy a Nikon D100 or Canon D60. And I also have to consider all the time saved by not having to scan all those slides for web publication and printing - I have a digital product straight from the camera. Frankly, I wouldn’t consider anything other than a digital camera for my next African adventure.”
