any ideas? waterproof?, [View all]

very lightweight, chargeable using usb, photo (and video?), decent p&s camera...

I am preparing for my hike and am trying to decide on electronics. I have a Brunton Solar charger and do want a decent camera and a cell phone with me. I will be getting resupply boxes about every 2 weeks or so, along the trail, I can swap out the card in camera for new one sent by my support person (my partner of course! ) Anyone have ideas?

I have been busy dehydrating food, making toothpaste dots and sewing stuff sacks...
