The x-ray machines for carry-on luggage will not do any harm to your digital camera, storage media, etc. Even film is no big issue unless you use high-speed film and/or you will have scanned it many times and/or you travel in some countries that might use higher dosages (not sure about that). The CT scanners used for check-in luggage can destroy your film visibly. Depending on how the film gets hit it might not be even across frames. But again your digital camera, storage devices, etc will be fine. I have had my digital camera, video camera, iPod, etc. scanned many times by the x-ray machines for carry-on luggage as well as industrial CT scanners. No problem at all.
