Hello,
I am going away for a while and plan on taking lots of photos and may or may not have access to computer the whole time.
I am weighing up my options for backing up my photos and freeing up my memory card.
Firstly I was thinking of a portable hard drive that does not require a computer - but unless it has a screen to confirm the photos are on there it is risky and I'm sure this = expen$ive!
Secondly I could buy a portable harddrive and hopefully have access to a computer to backup when necessary.
(Also do camera stores provide a service for backing up from memory card to your portable harddrive or only to CD/DVD?)
Thirdly I could buy lots of CF cards or XD memory Cards but again this would be expensive.
Alternatively I can just burn onto DVD if I have access to computer or visit camera store regularly which may be a hassle! Plus I don't trust DVD's as being very reliable!
What are your thoughts and how do you backup while away?
If you have any good suggestions for products etc that would be great!
Thanks Heaps!
