Just received the latest issue of Rock & Ice this month,
and they have an article on cameras for mountaineering
(a little more aggressive than backpacking, but at least
on topic).  They have some very good suggestions (avoid
wonderbricks, go with a manual camera for reliability
and to save money to spend on glass, etc).  Top choice
for a 35mm SLR.....you guessed it, Olympus, for compactness,
durability, and "excellent optics".  The OM-1n is pictured,
with the venerable 40mm f2 Zuiko!  Other 35mm manual
focus cameras recommended:  the new Bessa-R, the OM-2000,
the OM-4Ti, the N*kon FM-2n, and the Contax Rx.  In
the P & S category, again 3 of the 7 cameras were Olympus
(Stylus Epic, LT Zoom 105, and IS-3).  Nice showing!
