The thought of lugging 2 camera systems on a hike is not my idea of fun though. My wife did get some good shots of the salamanders (I mean, not art print quality or anything, but more like "look what we found!") using her digicam, which has a macro mode. So I guess something like that is probably as good a compromise as any.
