Power: When traveling with the K10D, I carry three batteries and a travel charger. Three fully charged batteries can acquire approximately 2100-2400 exposures ... that's 200+ pictures a day on a 10 day trip, usually much more than I shoot. A small travel charger with plug adapters for international power outlet requirements and an automotive 12V plug adapter costs about $25 as backup. Storage: Each 2G SD card will hold 160-200 .PEF files and costs $20. I carry at least 10 of them. If I want to have a backup copy of my exposures, i carry a standalone backup card reader ... the Epson P2000. If I am planning to carry the laptop, I also carry a pocket FireWire drive and store the exposures on that. Whether to carry the laptop or not depends on how seriously I'm going to be shooting. They are a bulky bit of a pain to carry, no matter what you do.
