How to get a Really Compact Camera travel Kit. Also applies a bit to phones etc.
To the left is the New Gear which has half the volume of the Old Gear, right. An inch and cm tape in between. Note! I
found a site on Internet that helps you to find e.g. a travel camera
for your needs, http://www.measy.com . "The whole process is backed by
comprehensive research from the most knowledgeable experts on the
Internet." As far as I can tell they have, Nov 2009, completely overlooked one very, very important point. Two important steps to get a set that is compact on the road. A bargain if you get rid of 75% weight or volume like I did. The first step, which works for most travelers, cuts the volume down to some half! The second step uses unconventional methods. Last time I got rid of some 30 %!

· Very good, big, camera or thin point and shoot? · What do I need? · First step toward compactness. Last time I got rid of half the volume. · Standard or special cables · Where there are TVs there are standard cables! · Rechargeable battery or not · Camera case? No way! I have a slim pocket camera. Guess how much the volume increases with its case? 30, 60 or 100 %? · How I carry camera. In a breast pocket and in a way so it doesn't weigh down the pocket, which otherwise would cause the usually very light tropical shirt to markedly hang down on camera side. Still I can take it out, hold it at suitable distance to view the LCD display and shoot without any intermediate actions. · Where I place the camera strap · How to take out the camera for quickest shooting · How to carry a slim camera/phone disguised on your chest · The future · How I reduced volume to less than half of previous gear · Second step towards compactness. Unorthodox way of volume reduction - makes a big difference. Last time I got rid of some 30 %! · From diary: Earlier examples of how I modified gear for a trip · I modify a PC loudspeaker set for Ultra Compact Travel - no need to take the sound boxes with you when checking out of the hotel!
