I guess good operation in low light is critical (though i'm hoping for 2 weeks of blue skies), image stabilising/anti-shake, reasonably high resolution, decent optical zoom and view finder (personal preference). Lets say under $350 for now.

Where do you get your development done, and how much is it, if I may ask?

I then have a compact digital camera attached to a strap on my pack, where it's easy to get to. That way, if I just want to snap a quick photo along the way, I can use the digital, and don't have to worry about the hassle of setting up the Mamiya.

ClockworkLemon wrote:Just out of curiosity, what kind of tripod do you carry? I'm using a Manfrotto 190N, and I find that it's just a bit too bulky to fit nicely inside my pack. I've managed to rig up a surprisingly effective system for strapping it to the outside of the pack, so it's not too much of a drama, but I'd much prefer to have something that would 1) be sturdy enough for the M645 and 2) would fit nicely inside the pack.
