[pct-l] O.T. Digital Cameras and Thru-Hikes

[markwright at lazy-son-of-a-bitch.com (Mark Wright)]

I use an Olympus Camedia C-3000 Zoom. I love it! I have taken it on  
week long backpacking trips without having to change the battery,  
though I always carry an extra set. The secret to long battery life is  
not to use the display. This will hold true for any digital camera.  
Some digital cameras do not have a viewfinder - just a digital display.  
As a backpacker you should avoid such a camera.
