What camera should I buy for about $150-200? 2 week hike in mountains!

Hi guys, I am going to go backpacking this summer for about 2 weeks, and I need a new camera for 1080p 30fps that is preferably point and shoot. It doesn't need to be water proof or anything, but that is why I am only willing to spend 150-200. I was looking at the sx-600 ,or may be the 340 hs. What do you guys think? I was also if any of you have any suggestions on powering them because I will be on a mountain, so there is no power. I was thinking about just getting two 13000mah battery banks and calling it a day.

go pro. get a usb solar panel and have it open on top of your backpack while hiking. Unless you take a lot of breaks in the sun, or start late/finish early.

THIS IS MY SUPER TEENY TINY SIGNATURE!

Ain't it just the cutest little signature.

Some would argue it is the cutest little signature ever.

I feel like a used GoPro would be a good fit, although not sure how that much would cost, or if its even a good idea D:

Yea, I have a go pro that I bought, but I think im going to be selling it because the video quality isnt all that good, and don't think that I can do without a preview.

You can get the NEX 5n for $210 and i believe on ebay i saw $150. Amazing camera, my friend has it. Also 10FPS burst and so many other DSLR-Like features.
