| Cameras
All my years as an active and competitive skier I knew nothing about cameras. However, within the last ten years I have been taking still photos on and off the slopes. This can be a distraction and not something I do regularly. If you are serious about skiing, leave the camera at home. I have a Canon Sure Shot WP SLR which has worked well for me. You definitely want a waterproof camera if you are going to try working in snowy conditions, but an ordinary single use can take good photos. Polaroids are a real trick since they don't develop well under 55 F. A few years ago I bought another Canon digital camera, the ZR 600 with 25X zoom which also has served me well for stills. So far I have not gone to video on snow. This camera, though, is not waterproof so I've only use it on clear sunny days. |
