Well, after all it seems I didn't get through to you. In very
simple English: There are place where any type of electrical equipment,
including digital cameras, are useless as soon as the batteries
are flat. People that go to those places are not much of a gadget
buying market so their needs will not be catered for by anyone who
is in it for the money.


Geez, most modern film cameras rely on batteries for metering, flash, film
advance/rewind, focus and God knows what else. Perhaps people who go to the
places you are referring to should learn to draw really, really well and
take lots of pencils with them.

Or cameras that don't do all those things electrically. If you limit
yourself to metering even small batteries will last quite some time.

hooked up to one of the safari vehicles comes immediately to mind.

Was mentioning places where vehicles don't go.
