OK. Camera-choice-challenge. Here are the conditions —
You're going away for three months to the north west pacific to spend time doing wilderness shit like building cabins, hunting big game, felling trees. When you arrive it will be -20ºC, when you leave it will be 10ºC. Lots of rain, lots of snow. No electricity of internet.
The trip is not a photographic trip per se, so digital SLRs, in fact anything with changeable lenses is probably out.
The focus of the challenge is high end 35mm compact rangefinders, p&s and so forth
WHAT WOULD YOU TAKE?
I want to know because my head is imploding with indecision. I was thinking GR1, but finding a decent one at the right price is really hard, given that they're so prone to breakdown. T2 is under serious consideration, but I'm not fond of the extra bulk. Cheap Olympus XA will be going as a mechanical back up, but still want the front runner to be reliable!
OK, go!
