[Philmont]: Re: Take Lots of Pictures at Philmont!

I took a Nikon CoolPix 5200 last year (2005). I was looking for an extra
battery (proprietary EN-EL5), and I found a combo pack - extra battery
with carrying case. I found that the two batteries were enough. I
started out using the LCD display, but when the first battery gave out
on day 6, I shut off the LCD to ensure the second battery would last
until home.

I carried a single 1GB memory card (SD), and I wound up taking around
600 pictures at 5M setting (2592x1944). At home I culled the 600 down
to about 225 pretty good shots. I like the picture quality, and it has a
panoramic assist mode.

The size is nice, it fits nicely in the cargo pockets of your hiking
shorts, and the carrying case goes nicely on a belt. I hate having to
dig around in a pack to take a picture.
