portable photo storage

[topsdave]

Hi guys
What can you advise me on the best way to keep my images safe while travelling. Shall I just keep them on the memory card and buy more cards. Or buy a portable storage unit or get a small cheap note book and portable hard drive. Or any other suggestions

It would surely depend on what kind of travelling and what period of time. A fortnight in Africa I'd pick memory cards, a month in the USA I'd pick a netbook.

Hi Phil
No nothing to drastic. I'm going to the US for a couple of weeks.

Just take enough memory cards

Unless you're planning to waste your holiday processing, or blogging your exploits.

Point taken I'll get some more cards then. Thanks lads

One other option, if you've got a smartphone, is to copy (via the phone) to a USB stick (or two, if feeling paranoid) using a USB OTG cable.
It's a bit of a faff, but is a fairly compact option to get duplicate copies.

That does sound like a bit of a mess around I think I'll just keep it simple thanks.
