Another Newb Question- Batteries and Straps

[Gig 'Em Mickey]

My next trip is Dec 13th. Family trip with three little kids. Really hoping I can convince my wife to let me go for one night just for photos.

when I was using Fuji... holy smokes, half a day and it was dead.

The one thing I have to be careful of is the EVF. If the camera is hanging around my neck and pressing up against me, it can turn on the EVF (if the camera is on).

1) And if there happens to be a tornado that sucks up your DSLR and spits it out in a tub full of water, those batteries are shot, just saying.

side bar:

Oy Did that really happen??? Was it the tornado of fall of 2013-pre-ThanksGiving one that tossed the camera into the tub? If it was I feel your pain, I was on I-57 in Gifford as that sucker struck and my DD was in a basement in Urbana U of I library for hours as that Puppy rocked Central IL.

That would be the one. I live in the Peoria area, my parents in Diamond. I tried to make it back to Peoria before it all hit but got stuck on I-74 about ten minutes after it blew apart Washington. Just some hail damage and a scared dog on my end. Once it passed through Gifford and the like it hit Diamond as an F2 - took a good chunk of my parents house with it. They were out for about 7 months.

Oh My! So sorry. Beyond devastating. My DD friend at u of i was from Washington. She couldn't get a hold of parents, was going to drive there, they sat on her door so she couldn't.

Hmpf and no battery to take photo's with either, don't know that I could look at those images anyhow.
