[pct-l] Solio solar charger question

[Andrew Siemer]

So...I am not sure what sort of camera you are using but I know that the 
40d, 5d, and several others all have the battery grips which allow you to 
extend your cameras battery life by using two of the proprietary 
batters...or 6 AA batteries.  In which case you can be way more flexible in 
your power sources.  I am going through this decision making process too. 
This is my current plan.
