Cameras are for capturing life experiences, which is higher on my priority list than the ability to capture them :) Or, better yet, get a used Leica M7 or M6, and you'll take some wonderful pictures anyway :) If you are looking for cheaper alternatives there are many tour operators for Antarctica. The cheapest way to go is to get yourself to Ushia, and check for any immediate departing vessels that still have empty rooms to sell; they will usually slash prices by 40% or more. Of course, this would require some schedule flexibility on your part. I love the M9 but if you HAVE to choose between one or the other, Antarctica!

But get ready for sea sickness as you cross the Drake Passage . . . Definitely need some wide-angled lenses. Antarctica is an absolutely amazing place to photograph; truly.
