call me an old git, but I still think of these things in terms of
rolls of film. I haven't been on a long trip for some time, but I tend
to average 5-6 rolls a day when I'm travelling. That's about 200
frames per day. I have an image tank of some sort and have used that
for short trips (about a week), and it is quite convenient and usable.
I bought it because it was cheaper than buying a large number of
cards, but card prices seem to have come down a lot since then. 

Personally I wouldn't want to schlep a laptop around.

As for recharging batteries, I believe they have a reliable supply of
electricity in Prague and are adequately stocked with suitable
outlets. Any halfway decent travel shop will be able to help you.
