Re: Primitive Campsites?
i am probably going to get me a digital rebel soon, but i will still take my A80 with me on trips. it still allows me to set up a nice shot (when i take the time - unlike i did in bandelier!) and get some pretty wonderful shots. but it doesn't weigh too much and i have the best batteries on the market for it. a set in the camera and a spare set will last me a 7day trip. but the A80 will limit what you can and can't shoot. i recommend it though, if you want to bp and still take a decent camera. plus it is one solid camera!
i don't know if i mentioned this here or not, but when i was taking the pictures of the waterfalls in bandelier, i dropped it down at least a 60ft cliff and it landed in a bed of sharp jagged rocks. the lens was open and so was the lcd. broke the memory card door and jarred the camera body a little bit. but those wildflower pictures were taken with that camera - and i still haven't sent it to the canon to get it fixed!!! :cool: totally amazing camera!
if you truly want to backpack, just go do it. my girlfriend made it out to be some hardcore adventure that was beyond her capabilities, but when she did it, she walked away saying "that wasn't bad at all." there's really nothing to it but to do it!
