The Phil-list Feb_2006: Re: [Philmont]: Replacement Batteries

I've been struggling with digital vs film....what's the best digital camera to take on a trek and what batteries does it take? It would seem the best camera would be one that took inexpensive batteries such as AA. Help!

I enjoy both film and digital photography. However, for backpacking I
recommend only digital. The ability to replicate, store and organize photos
for later is a huge benefit. Also, the sheer cost per frame is low. If
your purpose for shooting goes beyond that, then by all means pack the film
and lenses. Otherwise, digital saves space, weight and offers other nice
advantages.

Subject: [Philmont]: Replacement Batteries

Most of the backcountry camps don't have electricity -- Cito and Ponil are
the only exceptions that come to mind. Even there I would not depend on
finding and available outlet. I plan to carry enough batteries for more
shots than I expect to take.

For what it's worth, on past treks I've averaged about 25 photos a day with
a film camera. I figure it'll probably be more with the digital.
