I'd download those each night to the laptop. Shooting in RAW mode, I still found myself running out of room on some days. Guess I shoulda taken the laptop with me. I travel with a 30 GB X-Drive II for that purpose. Phil |

Dunno if you caught my post on the RCA Lyra, but it's serving me better than simply buying lots more media. I use a 30 GB X-Drive II for that -- and keep them on the card until I need the space (backup). Phil |

Lyra is essentially the same thing, only with a 3.8" viewscreen, TV out, music, video and pic playback, and a (substantially) higher pricetag. For brute-force gobs of portable storage, the X-Drive is a good choice, especially since you can buy your own drive mechanism. Upgradeability is not a feature of any of the players. |

Beta unit, real hush-hush. It's the size of a dalmatian and takes a motorcycle battery, but I have yet to run short of storage. |

"RJ" wrote in message ... I see plug-in cards sized anywhere from 64meg to 512meg. Any reason to have half-dozen small cards ? ( or any spares at all ? ) I found a 512meg SD card on sale.... When I plugged it in, my camera announced I now had capacity for 800+ pictures. Unless you're taking pics for the high school graduating class, would there be reason for any more ( spare ) cards ? ......so much to learn...... ;o) Much of that depends upon how many megabytes each image taken by your camera consumes. With my Canon 10D, I can only shoot about 127 full resolution RAW files with embedded jpegs. So...what to you is 800-shot overkill, to me wouldn't even be the equivalent of two rolls of film. |
