Why not get a dummy battery and power the camera from an external power bank?

You seem confused. The EN-EL4 and the EN-EL18 are the same size in almost every respect, I have one of each sitting beside me as I type. The only difference is that the contacts are, looking at contact end of the battery, on the left with the EN-EL4 and on the right with the EN-EL18. You can charge the EN-EL4 using an MH26a and a BT-A10 adaptor plate.

I never moved past the D3S as I found that the D3/D3S gave me everything I need until I got D800/D810/D850. These were more economic to buy and more 'functional' for my use. The bigger batteries give superior number of shots/charge and is for me the only attraction in the D5/D6, both are now discontinued. The D850 gave me what I needed. I still have one D850 for those occasional times when I need to use a DSLR but the mirrorless camera Zf, Z7, Z8 and Z9 are more than adequate for my current needs. The Z7 is slow to focus compared to all my other Zf, Z8, Z9 camera but it is tiny which makes it ideal for long treks.

I’ve come to a realisation… it’s not that my camera is too heavy for long treks…..it’s the treks are too long for my camera, and me.  If it’s too far to lug my one and only camera….its simply too far.

True…but even back in the day when I was more able, and when iso really controlled quality….I always said… “if it needs more than a 1000iso, it’s time for the pub”. Of course noise control has moved on significantly since I was earning my crust from a camera. I would probably now say (camera system dependant) “if it needs more than 5000iso, it’s time for the pub”.

Wine'o'clock it is, unless there is a good stout available for trial. Mind you IPA washes down a nice ploughman's lunch!
