Fer goodness sakes, when will camera makers start taking advantage of solar power. Batteries are so much trouble. Just think, a small solar panel attached to a headband or special "photo cap" (brim turned rearward by design) and plugged into the camera body. Perfect for many shooting situations. A premium version of the cap could be made with embedded solar panel "chips" which would capture the sun rays from all directions. This is something that's way overdue.
