i use a cannon digital elph s110. next month i'm going on a trip and plan to take hundreds of pictures. presently i have a couple memory cards for my elph but no where near enough storage for what i'm planning. since i'll be traveling light and moving around frequently i don't want to haul along my powerbook.

can anyone recommend the best storage solution for my trip? would buying more cards be the best bet? would a digital wallet be a good choice? something else?

thanks to all.

I think it depends on what format card you are using (CF, Smartmedia, memory stick etc.) as their prices all different.

If its CF (CompactFlash) then I'd say get a couple of 256MB cards. If its any other format than that, you'll be paying way more so you'll have to weigh up if it's maybe not worth taking the PB along and getting a PC card adaptor for fast transfers

thanks mark.

i did some digging and found the mindstor digital wallet. got the 20GB drive for a mere $400. it connects via firewire / usb and will hold 20,000 pictures -- perfect for my camera carrying habit. it may be a little extreme for most users but it'll be overworked in my case.
