OK, what kind of camera do you use on your trips?? I take a good pocket (still) camera and have a video camera mounted on the RT.
My P&S camera is a Canon 10MP, that has held me in good stead and 10's of thousands of miles well. I carry multiple batteries and memory cards, and can get 1,000+ pics on both batteries (depending on flash usage). I don't want a better/newer P&S camera, as strange things happen on the road, and I can still get a direct replacement on fleabay for under $25...
My video camera is new to me, and is a slick HD billet waterproof video camera, that set me back $60. It came with 2 rechargeable batteries, and has both mini-USB and HDMI I/O ports. Those let me use my iPad to set the angles for mounting the camera in real time, without wasting space on the memory cards. I get 2hrs of video on a single battery charge, and it takes 30 seconds to change the battery. All 4 hours of video will reside on a single micro card, which I download to my iPad nightly (& carry several cards). This unit looks like a flashlight, so it is usually ignored by those looking at the RT.
This video camera replaced the $9 micro HD camera I was using on my RT until last year. That camera is resting on the side of one of last years tour roads... well, I wanted to upgrade anyway.
