I agree with you Jim. Battery becomes a problem really quickly on hikes
and camping. I can't imagine if I'm in a village in Africa, where I'd
be able to "charge up".
My OM's meter died in Thailand.. I still came home with some great
shots. Had to go Sunny 16 (or Sunny 11 for print film) and still got
pics. One of the things the Thailand trip has taught me.. Always bring
a second camera. I was very glad I did!
Also, film has proven itself in the most extreme of situations, I'm not
sure about digital...yet..

I repectfully disagree. One of the real problems with digicams that I
have seen is the rapid battery consumption. When you are cycling or
backpacking for ten days you are often not able to recharge batteries,
and the weight and bulk and cost of spare batteries for many of the
DCs out there far exceed that of film!
