[pct-l] saving your pictures

[reality at backpacker.com (Reality)]

Craig,

I've just updated my "pocket-type" digital camera to a Canon PowerShot A700. It just came out days ago. It's the only one *its size* with a 6x *optical* zoom. It also features 800 ISO for low-lighting (which is helpful along the trail. It's a 6MP which is generally more than sufficient. It came with a 16MB SD MMC, but I put a 1GB card in it.

With two AA lithium in it, it weighs a total of 8.1 ounces (including the handstrap).

Which cameras to people take on the hike? I have a Canon 350D (aka Rebel XT), which takes nices pics but is far too big and bulky. I'm looking for something lightwieght, at least 4Mp and can run on regular batteries that I can buy along the way. Suggestions?
