I'm planning to go for a month long holiday in March next year in various places in europe - paris, swiss alps, austria...etc..
However, I'm concerned about what should I prepare/purchase for this trip.
I'm planning to bring my panasonic fx-8, 2 batteries, a 1gb memory card & charger. However, am very much concerned that the battery life and memory space may not be enough for me to take the many pictures which I intend to take. Should I buy additional battery and memory card or portable harddisk? Any recommendations? Is there anything I can do to prevent my camera from failing me in those close to zero degrees environment? I've heard that battery life will be shorter in cold conditions...can anyone advise as to how drastic is this change in battery life? Is there any portable electricity generator that operates on normal AA alkaline batteries? Cos I worry that I might not have access to electricity on certain places to charge my camera batteries...
Thanks.
