Not only the dreadful inconvenience Pawel, but think of the
ecological effect of all those batteries being disposed of from
wonderbricks and now digital cameras :<(.

It's bad enough with all the disposable razors!

Another problem I have with digital is batteries - BTW this problem is also
shared by most film wonderbricks. OMs (well, most) require batteries, but I
can easily carry a year's worth in a small pocket. Digitals and wonderbrick
eat bulkier batteries, and faster. Doesn't matter if you shoot in a studio,
or stay in hotels where you can recharge, but on a hiking trip it's not
practical. I'm sure new technologies will solve these problems, but a really
practical digital system is still not there, IMHO. And battery technology is
tricky - laptop makers still struggle do get decent capacity/weight ratio
after all the years of development.
