I will be spending a month in Tanzania filming and doing still photography of a hunting safari. Any suggestions on media storage of all of my photo files for this event?
Thanks

I have used a FlashTrax on my last few trips abroad. I pop a full CF card in it and before I can fill another one and need to download it, the first one is copied and ready to be re-used.
The unit acts like any other hard drive when connected to the computer via USB, and the USB2.0 transfers files very fast to the PC. I have yet to have a problem with any files transferred this way. I have even gone back to teh FlashTrax for an original months after copying them to my PC, because the file on my PC was corrupted. The original file from the FlashTrax was fine, and having it there still saved me. Because my FlashTrax is 80GB, I don't delete old files from it for a while.

PD70X/HD80 would be my choice. Epson P-x000 if you need a screen.

Vosonic VP 6230 xdrive - comes in a range of storage capacities. I chose 60Gb. It is a very user-friendly device, and displays Canon Raw. Will store other files as a general backup and plays music files. Nice unit, with a sturdy carry case. Check out this site where I bought it.
