[Healeys] Computer Question

[Earl Kagna]

G'day Patrick:

Depending on where you are travelling, photo shops will transfer your memory 
card contents to a CD or DVD quickly - people I know do this periodically on 
a trip to back up the camera's memory card(s) 'just in case'.

I suspect that the best way will likely be to buy a 'whole bunch' of memory 
cards and simply swap another one in as they fill up.  You could also set 
the camera to shoot at a reduced resolution when appropriate - each file is 
smaller, so more files (images) will fit on a given card.  My camera will 
store approx 2000 images at 'medium resolution' on a 2 GB card (secure 
digital type in my case), and the images are still a fairly high quality. 
If you shoot video on the same card, the whole thing goes out the window - 
those files are much larger.

Hoo Roo yourself - and have a good trip.

G'day

I wasn't very clear. We are going away and I don't want to take my laptop
with me. The way my wife takes photos she will have filled up a 2gb memory
card in an afternoon.

I would have thought that in this day and age there would be a gizmo that I
can place the images and then move on to the next day.

Hoo Roo
