    Re: Transfering when on holidays

    Your pen drive won't really be of any use to you in this case...But there are a couple of options.

    The first option is to take your memory card to some place that develops digital photos, and maybe they can burn the pics onto a CD, but this option is probably not going to be feasible in a lot of places.

    The second option is to get a portable hard drive and/or cd burner that can write directly from your memory card. These can be somewhat spendy, but probably worth it. Check out CNET's reviews of a bunch of them here...This is probably the best option.

    The third option is just to buy more memory than you think you'll need for your trip...


    I don't know how to put this, but...I'm kind of a big deal...People know me.

    Re: Transfering when on holidays

    Buy an image Tank with a 30G drive in it and you will be laughing. I have one and it is quite easy to use and transfers reasonably quickly over to the drive. I use it to transfer off of my 1 G card and have 256 meg card that I use while the files are transfering over in the mean time. I would be a good idea to have two cards with you minimum anyway, so if something goes arye with one you have a backup as well.
