Cameras...if you got expensive one

[nadinbrzezinski]

And fear it getting damaged, or don't have one...go to target. They got pretty cheap and descent kit...don't leave home without it if you are going to an occupy.

1. Zoom lenses are good.

So is decent low light sensitivity.

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. The one we just got has a zoom

Capability for video and wasn't that expensive. Oh and runs on triple A and has a flash.

Oh and above 35mm definition.

7. AA are easier to find the world over.

AAA not so much in out of the way places.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. True but I am not in an out of the way place

and I can carry extra batteries.

3. The best camera you have

is the one you have with you. Cell phone cameras are far better than nothing.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

4. And with cell phone cameras you can upload the pix/video before it's confiscated or broken.

[Tesha]

5. Is there an app yet that continuously uploads its images/video to the cloud...

...so that no matter what happens to the camera, all the
data up to the last possible instant is safe from "accidental"
destruction or loss?

"Say, isn't that a nice image of Officer Baloney's boot sole
just before the camera 'accidentally' got destroyed?"

12. If you have a Google+ account and its app

on your smartphone you can configure the app to automatically upload all photos and videos to a private folder on your Google+ account. This works for Android and iPhones.

18. There are some tools that do that as well as cameras and memory cards

Still need a nearby host and wifi

[Warpy]

6. It should be 4 MP or up

if you want to be able to zoom in on faces should an incident occur while you're taking pictures.

8. I recced this good recommendation.

I suspect D.U. has a contingent which is threatened by the OWS protests.

[Codeine]

9. More likely a group of posters automatically unrec all Nadin's posts.

I don't, but over the years I can see why they might. . .

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. They are threatened by me as well personally

but that is besides the point.

It is group dynamics of the worst kind.

13. K & R n/t.

14. A few more pointers

regardless of what camera you are taking.

TAKE A PHOTO OF IT... WRITE DOWN serial numbers, just in case your local cops take it. And make sure you practice taking the SD card out and replacing it with an empty one as well.

15. And if you use desktop computers I highly recommend buying one of these:

Take the SD card out of your camera and upload the files to your computer quickly.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. And they make some of those that are USB

I make it a practice to upload piccies as soon as I get home.

And as far as el cheapo electronics, most netbooks come with an SD card reader as well.

17. SD card readers have been standard equipment on laptops for years.
