Hi,

My sister is going for a summer study abroad to South America. (super jealous)
What will be the most safest and efficient to store her photos. She will not bring her laptop and will have limited access to public computers.

After some research, I was thinking that she should purchase an Epson-3000/5000 along with a lot of SD cards. She just got an XSI. (even more jealous)

Any other suggestions?

Thank you!

Hi
I've been doing research into this aspect of our hobby, and there are a few different options. I need a storage solution also and narrowed it down to the following:-
Hyperdrive Colorspace O - 3.2" (320x240) screen with various harddrive options and some useful tools to undelete files from flash cards, histograms etc.
Epson P3000 - 4" (640x480) screen, other media options, seems to be well respected piece of kit. Can also be upgraded to 120GB quite easily.
Vosonic have a VP8860 coming out soon, looks interesting.
I hope other people will help here, I am undecided!

The consensus still seems to be that the epson is the way to go from all I have read.
