If it was a hostile environment where the camera was likely to get stolen or

take any of my TLRs. I would take, of course, a digital camera! They are
obsolete as soon as you buy them, so who cares if they get ripped-off.

The problem with digital is that the electronics tend to fry in such
environments. You have dust, heat, lot's of light. Maybe lot's of humidity.
I'd take some old all-mechanical camera (or one which still works if the
electronics fry) in an old shabby bag and keep an eye on it.
