those card raders with HDD are expensive.. for an extra $200 you can get a laptop with built in card reader.also can have built in adobe photoshop for a little extra..

Exactly.
If I can get a case for around $50, I can add a HDD for another 100, making it quite resonable.
Otherwise its just easier buy a whole lot more 1gb CF cards.

What Mark said...

this is true... a hike not practical. however an event the laptop in the car would be handy..

on a hike i would just like a few cards (no card reader or drive,,,) PP onsite i agree but a good size screen to view the pics is good...

I must admit that you have some truth to what you say. I have got a cheap laptop at home which is used for downloading but going anywhere I am not going to take it with me. Just too big.

I was thinking of getting one of the epson devices, from what I have read the screen is really good and it can download many 1gb cards on a single charge. However I am looking at the canon ones if/when they get released.

is that what you say, or is that what your wife says ?

When it comes to downloading I only download things I wont to watch or listen to. I know there are a lot of people out there that download everything they find. but never have the time to watch it. If I don't like it I don't keep it.

However there's a part of me that wants to collect things. I have a DVD collection. in the past I used to collect trading cards. These days I collect TV shows I like to watch.

A gentleman dosnt kiss and tell

Hows your glass is it back from the shop yet?

Has anyone heard from Fritz?

nope, the glass is still away Even tho I sent it up a couple of weeks ago, it was not until wedn last week did they say that they had it. And that was only because I had talked to the manager. Now he said that the guy who was fixes sigma lens is away and didn't get back till Tuesday this week. So I am going to give it a week and then see what happens.

So far I am not impressed.
