I have one and it is an amazing camera. AMAZING! I'm too scared to take it on overnights with me though, but if I went to Wind River, I may get over that fear.My buddy is bringing a Canon 5D Mark II.... Now that some serious hardware....
Really looking forward to your trip dude.

Their actually a pretty tough camera that is well sealed, look at what the pro's put them through in some pretty extreme weather. I read a review a couple of years ago where they subjected some pro level Canon/Nikon DSLR, which the 5D certainly is, to some serious weather with no ill effects but I can certainly understand your concern... At the lofty price of an arm and two legs I'd never get it out of the house if it was slightly overcast....I have one and it is an amazing camera. AMAZING!

I even bought mine in St. Thomas which was tax and duty free and it still was really expensive. But, I needed a good camera while on the ship and didn't want to miss all the photo opportunities.Their actually a pretty tough camera that is well sealed, look at what the pro's put them through in some pretty extreme weather.

I just have a problem of being a little careless with my stuff out in the woods and would kill myself if I broke it.
Man, you and you're friend are going to take some beautiful photos. I'm so jealous!

Wow! that looks like an amazing place.
If you're gonna get a p&s I'd go with a canon (and I'm a nikon guy).
Good luck,

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace without end to you.
