    Once you get to DSLR, you’re not your average Joe photographer anymore, so I think DSLR is a pretty niche market. Also, since they discontinue old model when new model comes out, you don’t have them fighting each other on price.

    I don’t think TV, car, DSLR, etc. will every drop in price like you see in HDD, memories, etc. New generation of these products will give you better spec, but price will generally stay the same or go up a little bit.

    I know….. Get a Mac….

    Any reason why Linux won’t do? I have been using it on and off for 10 years. Never had a crash, not once.

    In theory, great. In practice, not enough software for it. My wife likes to edit pictures, etc. Photoshope…

    For cheap, look on ebay for a really old model – like a Garmin GPS III or something like that.

    I have one. It is several years old. B/W screen. Anchient maps. No navigation guide. Still, it does two things well: Lat and Long. It would probably serve you well on your hike.

    It has some nice features, too. You can offload data to a PC, or plug into a serial port on a laptop and superimpose the lat/long in real time on some mapping applications.

    They gotta be $50 on ebay.
