I took my Canon S30 to Acadia over Labor Day weekend and it ran out of juice on Sunday night. I'd taken about 50 photos on the highest quality jpeg setting and about 4 minutes of video. I'd also spent some time reviewing photos and showing them to other people on the trip. This is why I'm skeptical of a week's worth of service. If I were going to China on a week long trip, I'd want to be _certain_ I would not run out of juice or memory before the end of the trip. Hence, film & a good quality Kodak PhotoCD (not the el-cheapo scans & lo-rez images from a 1 hour service).
