Like Grit Dog mentioned, and I said many pages of posts ago.
Make sure your co-pilot has the camera handy for the entire trip. Like I said, your going to see some pretty spectacular sites on your trip north.
Myself, I hate the camera option on my cell phone as it doesn’t take “good enough” pictures for my liking.
I have a number of cameras, but my “go to” camera is a small Canon PowerShot with 12 times Optical Zoom. Small fits in your pocket like a cell phone, I take it snowmobiling, ATVing, fishing in the bush.... etc...and takes much better pictures than a cell phone.... ( my opinion)
Have fun on your trip.

Excellent advice. When we made the Alaska trip during the summer of 2019 I bought 2 pocket cameras and put them on neck lanyards. The rule was anytime we stepped out of the camper the camera had to be around our neck. If we hadn't we would have missed some great pictures. Animals won't wait for you to go back to the camper to get a camera. We took over 4000 pictures.
We got extra rechargeable batteries for each camera. At least once a day we had to replace batteries then charged them at night.
Friends just used their cell phone cameras. Their phones would not last all day taking pictures.
Pocket cameras are cheap, reliable, and with extra batteries are always ready for that next unexpected photo.
