For a good book about traveling or to read while traveling, I really have a favorite in "Zig Zag" by Ellen Wittlinger, about a young woman's cross country road trip.
I don't know much about cameras, but love my iPhone camera and my Kodak digital camera.
Portable DVD players are terrific but remember to bring the charger. When I tried to watch Titanic, it died right after the ship hit the iceberg.
Always remember odd things like nail clippers, Band-Aids, and bobby pins. Bring more than one pair of sunglasses. And always bring extra contacts AND your glasses.
If you like to pack half of what you own and sit on your suitcase to get it to close (like me), but don't want the risk of losing anything if luggage gets lost, do what I do and pack some light, squishable things in your purse/personal item bag/carry on bag. I've stuffed everything from pj's to swimsuits to dresses to shorts and shirts in there. This also makes for a fast, easy, and cooler change of clothes when you arrive.
For Type A and OCD people like me, follow my packing motto: POE. Prepared, organized, and effective. It works every time.
