I'd take a 35mm SLR (an Olympus OM-series - an OM2sp if I had one, but I've only got an OM10 at the mo) and a few boxes of film. That way instead of carting round a load of AAs, you keep a pair of coin cells in your shirt pocket. Given the fact that batteries in OMs tend to last around five years, you're unlikely to need them. The only disadvantage with film is that it needs to be developed and printed. The advantage is that you can do far more with it - most digital SLRs are pretty inflexible compared to their film-based "brothers".
