Storage device for digital pictures rather than buying mul..

I am using an Archos Gmini 220. Its an MP3 player with Compact Flash
port. I had to upgrade the firmware for data integrity but that is all
described in the yahoo group.
Alternatively you might want to look for an "image tank".
I think the Gmini was the better choice since it also plays mp3 it did
not cost more. I am not sure if they are still selling them but I think
they do. It has a 20GB HDD. I think I payed around $200 (dont quite
remember).

There's a ton of solutions for this.

There are a number of alternatives. There are stand-alone disk drives
that will serve the purpose. Check with Google.
Personally, I would prefer the laptop. NOt as light, but has a nice big
screen to evaluate the pictures.
NOte that while they are somewhat more expensive, carrying a lot of
cards can be a more space, and weight effective choice.

Before my last vacation, I purchased enough SD cards to hold 1200
pictures from my camera. At the time, that added up to about $150
dollars worth of storage, bought on sale over about 3 months. Now, the
same storage would cost less than $50. Given the fast falling price of
flash cards, they are more cost effective at this point, and MUCH
smaller and lighter than even the stand alone disk drives.

I use an X's drive Pro 3310, 40Gig , it has readers for all the popular
formats. About US$150.

Take a look at the Epson P2000 - you can use this as a display device as
well, and it has a rather nice screen.

I travelled in India last February and had the same problem, but even in
smaller towns it was possible to have the pictures burnd from memory sticks
or other cards on CDs. So, no problem.

Ever heard of Apple's iPod. It has an import function for storing, in my case up
to 20 GB of pictures. If you want to spend a lot more, you will get the Photo
iPod which will also store pictures from your computer, just like a photo Album.

Of course there is, the lab I am having my photos printed
(www.photodesmos.gr) has a new Fuji ordering machine that can burn your
photos on cd, and all you need is a blank cd and 3 euros for the process!
