Morning All,

Of to HKG in 12 hours, not on a 737 i might add , got the 400 for the trip as well.
My Jobo Spectator broke last night, so i'm in a bit of a dilema on how to store the images while i'm away. I've got a cady which i can put a laptop HD into, but i'll just need to get the HD or i could burn everything to DVD's.....which do you think will be better?

DVDs could be better as all your eggs won't be in one basket and you can spread them across your luggage on the way home. Presuming you shoot more than one DVD-full of course

Agreed. Or if you can grab some cheapo 16gb SD cards, throw them onto there. Smaller in size than DVD's.

I would just go for DVD's since you can pick up a DVD spindle for peanuts.

Tesh/Chris - Thanks,I've got plenty spare dvd's so i'll prob take them, Shooting RAW my 50D will fill 4GB in about 160shots, so i'm estimating i'll need about 40gb of space for the 3 weeks i'm away.......... i think i'll need to book another couple of weeks of work when i get back to process them all
