8Gigs of Memory is NOT Enough for a 3 Week European Trip
The Canon 40D supposedly gives 80 RAW photos
for each 1 GB. Which would only give me like 30 images per day. So i guess i will need something like this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...d_Alone. html Pretty much necessary..... Damn! This hobby is spinning out of control! |

I understand what you mean exactly. I've found, even before the digital age, that only about 1 in every 20-30 pics is a REAL keeper of a photograph. I've definitely gotten used to deleting bad, blurry pics on my Powershot G3, so maybe i'll just be diligent about it every night. And this will allow me to go crazy at the beginning (when i can afford to take tons of photos), and hopefully be more selective at the end of the trip (during which, i hope to improve as a photographer, anyways). |

My sister spent a week in Dubrovnk. She borrowed my memory cards (I had no monster requirements for memory that week), had one full one burned to DVD in an INet caffey for safety rather than media needs. She returned the cards to me and won't need them again until Spring, when she goes to Scotland. My Rent-A-Safari-Camera-Kit (show up at the trailhead with your clothing and memory cards, use our cameras, lenses, beaters and bearers) hasn't attracted much capital, yet. Maybe the other angle would work: in every airport there are vending machines dispensing popular sizes and shapes of memory cards, complete with postage-paid mailers. Stock up at a rental price, shoot your little heart out - with your very /own/ equipment, mail the full cards to us from wherever your little heart desires, or when you have returned and unloaded them onto your very /own/ computer. Cards mailed from over there are DVDed and the disc is waiting for you when you return. How can it miss? -- Frank ess |

8GB is peanuts. It may be sufficient for one day of shooting, but not
for three weeks. I've just returned from a three weeks trip to east Asia with close to 80GB of photos... -- Alfred Molon ------------------------------ Olympus 50X0, 7070, 8080, E3X0, E4X0 and E5X0 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

In Cairo, excellent. Most large cities anywhere in the world would have that facility. Now small towns in the rural areas or countries like Bangladesh, probably not. |
