Vacationing with a Laptop and a Digital Camera
When heading out on vacation, a digital camera is a must-have for capturing memories without the hassle of film. However, managing storage for all those photos can be tricky. At home, I store my pictures on a laptop and back them up to CDs for safekeeping.
If you're planning a week-long vacation with plenty of photography, it’s important to know how many images your laptop can handle. Most cameras shoot in JPEG mode, with file sizes ranging from 250KB to 1.4MB. A 1GB memory card can hold over a thousand images, but it’s easy to fill up quickly. You might consider purchasing additional memory cards or transferring photos to your laptop.
Laptops vary in storage capacity. Newer models may offer 40GB to 100GB drives; however, many people have older models with less space due to existing files. Before you go, check your laptop’s hard drive to ensure there’s enough room for your photos. If your laptop has a CD burner, bring along some blank CDs for backups. A handy backup tool to consider is [Second Copy](http://www.secondcopy.com), or you can upload photos to your ISP’s server as another option.
For additional storage, consider investing in a portable hard drive. Compact and convenient, these devices can hold between 20GB to over 60GB of data, with prices starting around $100. By inserting your memory card into the drive, you can easily transfer and store images.
Stand-alone burners are another practical solution, allowing you to burn CDs and DVDs. Many models also play DVDs and audio CDs, which means you can enjoy movies and music during your travels.
If your laptop is new, it might have a fast FireWire connection for quicker transfers. Otherwise, you can use the USB connection to move your photos.
By planning ahead and taking the necessary precautions, you can ensure that all your treasured photos are safely preserved, serving as wonderful reminders of your vacation.
