I'd really suggest you take a good digital camera and a couple of lithium ion batteries or more.
The cost of them compared to the trek is negligible and you'd be kicking youself when unable to take those pics !
My camera literally ate AA batteries everyday and rechargeables was not an option. My mate however lasted well on two Li-on batteries and we were there for over a month.

You could, of course, take a good film cameras (gosh! How horribly untrendy!) and not have any electrical problems at all - not to mention any quality advantages...
