When traveling, I go through a rather thorough, yet painful process of figuring out what the heck electronics I should take along. On Saturday, Sara and I will be traveling to Finland and Sweden, so the process begins.

Here is most of what I use today in terms of portable electronics, from the white lens in the upper-left, spinning counter-clockwise:

Canon Lenses
70-200 f2.8 IS
10-22 f3.5/4.5

iPpod Touch 4Gen
iPod Nano 1Gen
iPad 2
Kindle 3rd gen WiFi (black)
Kindle 3rd gen WiFi (Pink, Sara's)

Computers
15.4" Dell Studio 1537 (Sara's)
12.1" Dell L attitude D420

Flashes
Canon 580 EXII
Canon 430 EX
Canon 430 EX (not shown, bounced off ceiling for photo)

Canon Vixia HF100 Camcorder

Media players / photo dumpers
Vosonic VP8390 160GB
Vosonic VP6230 120GB

GPS
Garmin Nuvi 360
Garmin Oregon 300

Whew! So traveling, sort-of light, I'll take the Canon 7D, the 24-105, 10-22, 28mm and the 50mm. Only one flash, a 430ex as I don't plan on shooting much with flash. Canon S95 is small and does video, so that's going. Polaroid is not needed as we aren't going in the water. My phone is a necessity (though it's CDMA, WiFi makes it very useful for everything but phone calls). Ipod touches will stay back for Ian (so we can do Facetime w/ the iPad 2, which we will take). Kindles come along as does my laptop. May take both Vosonics for redundant photo copying, camcorder stays as does the nuvi (not taking a car), but Oregon goes for geocaching and general navigation. If you actually made it this far, congrats, you are a nerd.
