Digital BW, The Print

W,

Try an Xdrive. Built-in Li-ion battery, but can also be powered by an AA 
batterypack. My D100 camera can take AA batteries as well as its 
rechargeable. You just have to be choosy about what you buy. If you know you 
are going to need some CX-762 batteries in the middle of Bolivia, you take 
them with you. Just as you take your films that you aren't going to be able 
to buy there. Try buying Provia 100F in rural Bolivia!

Remember the dinosaurs.

Show me a digital storage device that doesn't need some kind of power
source, either plugin or battery?  If it uses a standard AA or AAA
battery, those should be easily obtained anywhere, however, how common
do you think a CX-762 battery is in rural Bolivia?  As for film cameras,
I do not know of any 4x5 view camera that needs any kind of battery.
Hand held meter, with a dead battery, there is always Sunny-16!
