So … you’re going away for a week and you’re going to be doing a lot of diving.<\/p>\n
How do you store your daily shoot ? (because you don’t want to lose the week’s images if you flood on day 6).<\/em><\/p>\n There are a number of options, and there are new products all the time.<\/p>\n With the Olympus, I used a stand-alone CD burner. Mine was an EZ-DigiMagic<\/a>. However, with the Fuji, I’m using a 1gb card, so that won’t all fit on a CD. So I’m now taking a Notebook PC away with me. \u00c2\u00a3400 from Aldi. A Tablet PC would be another option, when they get more reasonable. The two criteria here are size and weight – a detachable battery unit helps – so it can fly in carry-on with my cameras. One alternative would be a dedicated storage \/ display device. The Jobo<\/a> devices will display most RAW formats, and Epson<\/a> are also in this marketplace. These can cost as much as a laptop, however.<\/p>\n
\nThis was ideal, as CDs hold 650mb and I use 512mb cards in the Oly. Just slotting in the memory card and a blank CD, then pressing the “copy” button. There is a DVD version available now, but it was a bit pricey …<\/p>\n
\nAnd I’ve loaded LightRoom on it, so I can check out converted images.
\nWith a DVD burner built in, I can backup my originals before the flight.<\/p>\n
