What digital video camera would you recommend?
I received a question from a client the other day who is due to take a Nile cruise shortly asking about any recommendations I might have for the best small high definition digital video camera to take with them.
If you have seen any of our Nile Cruise videos you will have seen the results I obtain from my Flip HD Digital Video Camera which I’m really pleased with. I’ve had it for about 18 months now and it’s been a great tool for me. Small as my iPhone and really easy to use. However there are some excellent alternatives now available made by Kodak and also the iPhone 4 has a really good HD video camera built in to it.Â
The only problem with the iPhone is that there is no way to fix it to a tripod to get a steady picture and so the videos arent’ as smooth as I would like. However there is a new “steadycam” hand-held setup being made available in December that acts like the type of “smoothee-cam” that you see camera men at football matches using to give that really smooth camera shot of the players from pitch-side. It’ll be about £100-150 but for real enthusiasts it will allow them to get great results from the excellent iPhone built in camera.

Nile Cruise Luggage Recommendation…
Sounds a strange title? “Nile Cruise Luggage Recommendation“.
Well the reason for this post is that Barbara has just bought me an Eagle Creek Tarmac 22 “carry-on” suitcase for my Christmas present which I’m going to use for the first time when we go away for Christmas and so I thought I’d mention this excellent product here on the blog.
 I’m also due to visit Egypt on business in January so it will come in handy as I’ll be travelling around a fair bit so I can hopefully stow it in the overhead lockers.
Freezing in Manchester Piccadilly Station!
Barbara and I spent the past weekend at a travel conference in Bristol having travelled down from the North by train without any problems. Unfortunately the same could not be said for the return journey. Sadly our train back to Manchester was delayed due to adverse weather conditions and we missed our onward connection. That meant a one hour wait on the open platform at Manchester Piccadilly in sub-zero temperatures until our onward (and crowded) train arrived to take us to our home station.On arrival we then had to drive our youngest daughter back to university before we finally arrived home at around 9.30pm only to find that our heating had decided to give up the ghost!
Nile Cruise – Bargains Galore
Nile Cruise now!
If you can get away over the next week or so you can benefit from some great Nile Cruise prices.
The excellent Nile Premium Nile cruise ship is available for £775 on November 29th and for December 6th for £799. That’s a big reduction from the £1025 published fare. Just a few cabins left which is why the price is so keen. Plus the MS Tu-Ya and MS Ti-Yi at £669 on 29th November and £775 on 6th December.
The period between late November to mid-December traditionally gives good basic Nile Cruise prices anyway as it that slower period before Christmas and the January, February high season. Weather is still great so it’s an ideal time to get a quick week away before Christmas. Especially as the weather has turned so cold all of a sudden.
Beat the snow. Go now!
