Since we first discussed this trip, we've both assumed we'll be using our phones to take all the pictures. The arguments for that are well-known to everyone. They're always with us, take hardly any space, the cameras are reasonable (something like 12 Megapixels now, if I remember right), and part of the instruction we receive on the expedition includes how to dive into the settings and get the camera set up properly to take decent shots of the night-time sky, including the Northern Lights.
Another great attraction is how easy it'll be to post those photos as we go. WiFi is good, apparently, on the MS Maud, so we planned to keep this blog and our facebook feeds constantly updated with how things are going.
But there was always this niggling doubt at the back of Nikki's mind about whether phone pix will really record this once-in-a-lifetime trip well enough. If nothing else, it was a good excuse to buy a new camera. And a USB-C connectable SD card reader.
