Dont carry O2 cylinders on your own. At such heights, packets & bottled materials expand so its not safe. let the organizer take care of it. they usually carry O2 cylinders.
My suggestion is to pay the extra 2k and enjoy your trek. but if you want the full tough experience, carry your rucksack.

Read up on AMS ( Acute mountain sickness ) and precautions & symptoms.

Thanks. I do want a good experience in terms of photography. Don't want to miss shots just because I was carrying a 50 pounder on my back. Maybe porter is the way to go for the main rucksack, and me carrying a DSLR bag with some extra goodies ?

important point to remember.... batteries shit on you at cold temps. try to carry extra. atleast 2 extra. and most of the villages don't have electricity.

Yup no charging points on this trek. Carry the DSLR & wide angle lens.
You will get amazing shots.
