Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: The weather in April went from cold to warm and back again in a millisecond. Be flexible and use layers that you can add and remove, and bring an umbrella. I've never visited in winter, but snow is probably a problem even down in the valleys and along the Rhine.
Photo Equipment: Definitely bring a camera. However, battries and film are not a problem and are even reasonably priced - at least by European standards. Also, the Prince's Castle at night is quite spectacular. If you are any good at night photography, it might be worth bringing some higher speed film.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: In the winter, bring your skis if you are into that kind of thing. Good hiking shoes in the summer will allow you to hike the mountains that you would otherwise be skiing in the winter months.
Miscellaneous: The higher altitudes in Liechtenstein take longer to thaw out from winter. In early April, Vaduz was absolutely free of snow while Malbun still looked like January. If you wish to hike in the higher altitudes during the spring, bring shoes that you do not mind getting wet and that will keep your feet warm, but that are light enough so that you do not feel that you are carrying tons on your feet at the lower elevations.
