h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Here's what I suggest, and if you take my advice, it will solve your charging issue.Take that damn smart phone that you seem to be connected to by an umbilical cord, and throw as far as you can into Seven Seas Lagoon.If you're compelled to photograph every second of your trip to an overrated amusement park for prosperity, what's wrong with a cheap camera?He's back!!!! I've you'd upgrade to a cell phone that wasn't made in the 80's you might understand why we bring our phones. My phone is my camera. I don't want to carry my phone a camera. If you can talk your bosses into getting rid of MDE .& FP+. Id be happy to not bring my phone. Not all us have the luxury of being a CM or going there multiple times a year so we have to use the little bit of time at the parks wisely. Heck if I had my way there would no FP+. And most TS restaraunts would not be on a reservation system. But the system as it is requires planning and a smartphone to get the most out of a visit to Disney.

momof3kids-Yvonne 594 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 DH gets nervous enough about the kids bringing the IPad in the car with us on vacation. Taking it into a Theme Park would about give him a heart attack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd end up with it In My backpack when they got tired of carring it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Any suggestions on a good digital small camera? I was looking at the Nikon cool pic? I have two Nikon CoolPix. They have both been good cameras. My first one was a 5200. It is tiny, I've had it for several years, and it still takes good pictures. Now I still use it mainly for underwater pictures b/c I have an Aqua Pac that it fits into. My latest CoolPix is a P7000. It's about twice as big as the 5200 and takes excellent pictures. Even though I now have a DSLR (Nikon D7100 with a powerful 18-300 zoom lens)that takes wonderful pictures, I still sometimes use the P7000 because it's small enough to fit in my purse, does well in low light conditions, and the quality of the pictures is good. Yes, I'm a big Nikon fan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm surprised you're familiar with Brownie cameras because the Brownie Hawkeye camera was discontinued before you were born.I love old cameras. I have several oldest is the 1908 Eastman Kodak Pocket camera. I have two Brownies. The hawk eye and a Starflex. I two of the original Polaroid land cameras. I know it's not old but I have my dad's canon AE-1. Here's a picture of the kodak pocket camera that's my iPhone to show you how big peoples pockets were. Lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I'm a big Nikon fan.Thanks for the advice. In my college days I was big into photography when it was a good eye and lot of luck to get that perfect shot, unlike now. I was a Minolta guy back then but I agree with you, Nikon is the way to go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Wow this thread has been all over the place and then some! And somehow miraculously, there was some great info here. Thanks to Travisma's recommendation, I bought the Anker charger on Amazon over the weekend. Hoping to get to give it a try soon! :) I know what Brownie cameras are and I'm only 28.

It has slightly better reviews than the Jackery Bar and a little bit more capacity. I just need to find some else to order to get the total to $35 for the free shipping.
