Gary is soooo right!
And you can use the "preview mode" right after the shot to delete on the
spot.
Also, if you are shooting jpeg, NEVER ever edit from the original. "Save As"
first then work on that. Every time you save jpeg, the file gets smaller and
grainier because it gets recompressed.

IE if you fix red-eye on one person, then save, then fix it on the next
person the file gets worse and worse. Same when you erase out that pole
behind your car you never noticed before...A serious limitation for serious
photogs.

No, no, no.   Never shoot low res, because you never know when you're going
to get that photo of a lifetime. Nothing pains me more than to have to tell
someone that the fantastic, beautiful pic of his Healey or whatever that he
just
sent me "that looks great on the screen" isn't sufficient for printing
(which
means it also isn't sharp enough to print and frame).
Shooting jpeg at today's standard of four to eight mb will give you
portrait/wall quality stuff, and you should still be able to get several
hundred on a
couple of 2 gig cards.
Some tricks: keep in mind that the more you shoot, the more you have to look
at. If you're coming home with more than a few hundred shots, you'll spend
more time sorting through them than you spent on the vacation.
Feel free to shoot, but then whenever you're sitting somewhere doing
nothing,
sort through the pics on the camera and delete the finger and foot shots,
the
low light ones, the ones with shutter shake, and the ones with junk in them
(eyes closed, pedestrian in background, poorly framed, etc). That way, when
you
get home, you have only the keepers.
have a nice vaca.
