Thanks for the comments and thanks for visiting the site. I’m jealous, you are going to have a great time travelling, make sure you hit Thailand, Lao and Cambodia. I did indeed go travelling with a DSLR, mine was the entry level 1000D with a 18-55mm lens. I love the 1000D because it is light and robust but if you can finance a 450 I would go for that and get better picture clarity. In terms of lenses when travelling it depends on how avid a photographer you are. I travel light so can’t carry multiple lenses though I found having a standard 18-55 was awesome because it meant you had to get up close and personal with your subject (perfect if photographing good looking Swedish girls).

Best tip I can give with the Cannon is to shoot in sports mode when you don’t have time to adjust the setting properly. This will get most of the setting “about right” and you can tweak it all back on the computer.

Hope this helps mate and enjoy your trip.

I’m off travelling south east asia at the end of june for 10 weeks and can’t wait. I love your travel photo’s and noticed in your original “3 months of a travelling entrepeneur” post you’re holding a cannon dslr.

I’m looking at the 450d myself, any advice or recommendations on camera’s or lenses or travel photography in general?

Much appreciated.
