I took a small Quantum battery pack and a Digital Album by Nixvue that holds 20 GB of photo files. I had no problems with any of the electronic equipment. My digital cameras are the Leica Digilux 1 and the Panasonic Lumix. They are small, light rangefinder type cameras with rechargeable lithium ion batteries. I carried everything in a Tamrac backpack and, since the tiny digital cards took the place of several hundred rolls of film, it was actually lighter than usual.
