Photo Storage suggestions... Can't Post
We are planning a trip for next summer and need to have something to store photos in while traveling. Any suggestions?
I have my laptop but don't want to have to carry that around all day.... and I don't want to shoot in jpeg(I'm a RAW guy)


Thanks Mike R.

Card prices have and ARE dropping so fast that by next summer you'll be able to get an 8 gig card at an incredibly low price. Actually they're already low, but they just keep dropping. Even shooting RAW it should take you some time to fill one up.

I would just purchase a couple of 8 gig cards and be happy with it. Then if you plan to take your laptop with you, just download them at night and then back them up to DVD as well.

I tend to over shoot, but I just went on a one week vacation and only changed cards one time. That was only using 2 gig cards. And I did that before going out for the day ... left my other card in a case and in the suitcase.

OTG drives might work. Search for "On the Go"...

They are self powered and can accept USB.... so hook in USB adapter and push copy button.
