A Mountain Bike Road Trip - Mountain Biking Equipment

Other than the typical biking & camping equipment, we also brought along a Kodak DC 20 digital camera. The digital camera was put to the test as we brought it on every bike ride. The camera held up to the bumps and heat just fine. The camera is also extremely small, which made it easy to through in a jersey pocket. As far as the quality goes, we'll let you be the judge. We've marked all the pictures taken with this camera with a "DC 20".

As you can see, the quality of our scanned photos is still better than what this camera could provide. While this quality does improve when used at it's higher resolution (we used low resolution), the quality still doesn't quite match that of a scanned photo. When used at this higher resolution, you are also limited to eight pictures, which may, or may not be enough for a ride.

The big advantage that this camera has over a standard camera, is that you can view the pictures as soon as you get home. Though, unless time is of the essence, we recommend sticking with disposable cameras and a scanner for your digitizing needs. Cheap scanners will always out perform the DC 20 and only cost about half of the DC 20's $600 sticker price. This way you also get to have a hard copy for your photo album.
