Part of my trips always is being financed by selling photos after I come back. Only certain equipment with specific lenses and quality of image can be used in order for me to obtain the right picture that can sell. Canon doesn't have it. I will be taking Nikon D70 with me and Panasonic LX1 (due to it's panoramic shape sensor) and Ricoh GrD (fast lens, wide angle and AAA compability). I had a talk with a friend of mine who is an electrical engineer and as soon as my Burton solar pannels arrive we will crack one of my chargers and try to bypass the 110V converter and jack the solar juice right into the charging circuit.
