To explore Tibet, some secret weapons are needed to ensure a
once-in-a-lifetime journey free from some expected problems. Digital
cameras help capture the views, mobile phones help keep in touch with
friends, DV cameras can lend extra electronic memory to back up an
oxygen-starved brain and GPS helps travellers make sure they are always
on the right track.

Secret weapon list

*Cameras
The blue sky, sublime mountains and exotic culture in Tibet breed endless
opportunities for taking photographs, so be careful about what kind of
camera you bring.

To shoot Tibet scenery, you should have a camera that has high
pixelation, a strong optical zoom (above 10x) and a good anti-shake
function.



Sony Cybershot DSC R1 has a 2 inch format LCD display that can be folded
up and rotated 270 degrees.

*Digital memory

Amazing Tibet can't be captured with just one memory card, and it's
difficult to find Internet access outside of major cities like Lhasa and
Rika. So take some extra storage along.

* Hard disc drives: big storage, small size.

industry with its superb data security technology.
