Packs Down for a Daypack

A camera rides along all day only if it survives being wedged by a bottle.

Charges Over Common Cables

Hostels and airports offer a USB port long before a proprietary charger.

Wide Framing for Landmarks

Buildings and coastlines do not fit a narrow lens from a crowded viewpoint.

Widely Stocked Film Format

A common pack size can be replaced mid-trip instead of rationed to the end.

Handles Heat and Damp Air

Film and fresh prints both suffer in tropical humidity and a hot backpack.
