Which Rear View Camera

Hi,

Newbie here. I drive a Nissan Patrol.

Had an unfortunate accident with a tree the other week.

Does anyone know of a good rear vision camera?

I found one at www.1saleaday.com.au, but am unsure of price and specs?

What UHF?

Hi there guys, im about to head off on a trip around Australia and really want to know what is the brand of radio to get. Im aware that there is so many on the market but i want something that is top quality.

I heard that GME and uniden are good, are they?

And any aerial tips as size and brand would also be great. Thanks.

Travel Cameras

Has anyone taken a camera traveling that has done a particularly great job that they can mention, and is a Digital, conventional SLR or a digital SLR better for your travels? Thanks MC BOBBY! . . .
