Mainly because my laptop is too big to lug around. Also, being on holiday, I wouldn't want to spend my nights working on You have point. Here is my plans or choices... 1) 5 PCS 1GB Sandisk UltraII from local store 245 eur each Total 1225 eur 2) 1 PCS 1GB Sandisk UltraII from local store 245 eur AND Apple iBook 12" (30GB/800MHz version) from local store 1000 eur Total 1245 eur Option 1 is ok for general use, but I think that option 2 is much better. When traveling I can upload lastest pictures to my website for storage/backup using wlan hotspot or public lan. Also I can check emails and write down information about pictures. I'm working with EOS 10D and I can shoot about 200 pictures for one 1GB flash card. And I have also few 256MB cards for spare use. But as you say, this is quite personal question, like Nikon vs Canon I'd stick with option 1. You avoid the eggs in one basket scenario then. -- Yours Zebedee (Claiming asylum in an attempt to escape paying his debts to Dougal and Florence) |

Make 2 copies of a full memory card on CD and never worry about HD or memory card faliure. As a bonus, you can play music CD's, MP3's & DVD's on the road. Jeff. |

Just run a slide show in the hotel room TV, or bring along a small LCD
monitor (I have one for my vehicle). If you're shooting RAW's, then you'll have to trust the confirmation on the burner, unless your camera allows for RAW+JPEG. Jeff.

"Saku Elovaara" wrote in message ... Btw, how could I be sure that cd's are burned correct? I still need a computer for checking.. Exactly. I went through this scenario myself and just decided that the best way was to have loads of CF cards. It worked out lighter and more portable as well as avoiding the eggs in one basket scenario and was something less visible to draw attention from the villains. -- Yours Zebedee (Claiming asylum in an attempt to escape paying his debts to Dougal and Florence) |
