Photograph Your Contact Info for Lost Digital Camera
In case my digital camera was lost, I capture a photo of my e-mail address on the camera itself. In a word processing program, using a large font, I type 'If found, please e-mail '____'. Thank you.
I then take a picture of the monitor with the displayed information. I use a "disposable" e-mail address, just in case. You can also offer a reward if you wish.

This is great advice. I would suggest to set this as the start-up photo if you have that option on your camera. I worked at a tourist destination this summer and we had cameras turned in almost everyday, with no way to contact the owners.

Take a picture of your name, address, and phone number with your camera and/or phone. That way if you lose it, someone who finds it will see the info if they look through it for help in identifying the owner.
