I feel you there. That Tongariro hike I posted is about 20km up over three volcanoes. As much as I wanted to take a point-and-shoot for ease, I knew I'd regret it with the views. But let me tell you, a DSLR with battery grip with a wide-zoom gets friggin HEAVY after about 5km.

Point-and-shoots have come such a long way over the last 5yrs, particularly when it comes to landscape photography.
