Is it safe to take a Nikon camera on a plane?
I am visiting my dad in texas for the summer and i don’t think i could survive the entire summer without my camera. it is a 3 hour plane ride, and i was wondering if it was going to be safe to bring it along. Will it be ok going through security? It is a digital Nikon D100. Also would it be better to take it as a carry on or should i put it in my suite-case?

Anyways, it’s okay to bring cameras along with you. Let’s just say your camera is like a cellphone that can be brought anywhere.. Its safe.. Have a safe trip!
Yes it is safe to bring a camera, or any electronic device, on a airplane. I always take my computer and camera as carry on since it is the only way to know how my bag is handled. Don’t fear the X-ray machine, it won’t affect your camera, memory card or accessories.
Another consideration is that the cabin is pressurized and temperature is controlled, the cargo hold is not and can see extreme cold at high altitudes. I don’t believe this poses a real problem, but bad things could happen and why take that chance.
yeah i brought mine on a 9-hour flight still turned out okay.
