FLAAR has tested all the following photography and computer equipment under extreme conditions. Much of this equipment has survived archaeological expeditions into remote jungle areas of Guatemala, Belize, and Mexico. The digital equipment was subjected to intense tropical heat and humidity at Copan, Honduras, survived pot-holed roads and long stretches of unpaved roads getting to the Maya ruins. Thus we can recommend the following cameras, accessories, computer hardware and software with confidence.
