Saw this at the local sams club for under 200 bucks - any thoughts on if I could use this for picture storage straight from the camera or a card reader?

5gb is next to nothing. And, it wasn't designed to do what you want - so $200 is a lot. There are many portable storage devices out there. I spent about $200 and got a 60gb hard drive with built in card reader - just for storingpix on a long trip from home. X-Drive II.

May I ask where you found it.
Stores all look like they are in the UK
