While I would appreciate longer battery life, these things are small enough and light enough to be a non-issue. Except for video stuff and time-lapses which gut the batteries. I definitely do need a third battery for the DMC-GX85, though. I went through two on my last big hike. But I usually go through almost an entire one on the 6D or most of two on the E-3. Regardless, they aren't any bigger or heavier than a roll of film or two. My can of bear spray remains the biggest and heaviest single item I carry with me on a hike. > I was just visiting another site where I go to elevate my BP, and a big > discussion now is over a question of where to find a "safe" card reader!

My 13" MacBook Pro is the last one with the built-in SD card reader. Oh happy day. But my Yoga does not. For the CF cards, I use an external reader. Otherwise, it's an issue of connecting the camera to the computer to download the images directly. While I am not opposed to that method, I prefer card readers. Otherwise, I have to lug around even more USB cables. My computer bag is stuffed with cables.
