Tip #2 - Use an Extended Zoom Camera

Tip #2. My recommendation is to buy a relatively inexpensive used or refurbished (try Amazon or Ebay) camera with an EXTENDED OPTICAL ZOOM and image stabalization.  Most cameras will only give you a 3X zoom lens. I love the travel photos I get with my pocket size Panasonic camera because of its 14X Leica zoom lens.

Tip #3 - Own a Pocket Sized Camera

Tip #3 - Choose a camera that fits in your pocket. This is an easy one since most digital cameras are pocket-sized.  The newest extended zoom cameras, termed  "Bridge" cameras are enticing buyers by offering more adjustable settings and an electronic viewfinder.
