Showing your lack of experience and knowledge. I specifically switched to digital just to avoid the burden, expense, and frustration of using film in situations like the above. Backpacking one lightweight camera, an extra set of AA batteries, a compact folding solar-panel (weighing only ounces), and extra SD cards is no comparison to the amount you'd have to haul for film, not to mention the storage requirements for film in harsh environments during lengthy treks. You're a role-playing pretend-photographer fool and troll. There's no sense in addressing any of your comments further, by anyone.

The most successful companies are always built around people, and often around a single person. When that single person leaves, the companies often collapse, or at least they settle into a kind of long-term mediocrity until the replacement management finally screws up enough to bury them. Bill left Microsoft long ago, and we see the results. Eventually Steve will be gone, too, and Apple will wither thereafter just as Microsoft is withering now.
