How can I store pictures without a computer?

[Thorsmomma]

I have a 512MB memory stick in my camera which stores over a hundred pictures, but I am trigger happy and I will need to take waaaay more pics than that on my trip. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do. I'm kinda freaking out here . I have a palm pilot with a 512MB memory card which is a different size....

Computer wizzes....help me!!
Thanks

You can buy either a portable hard drive, or a portable CD burner, I'd recommend a portable hard drive which interfaces with your memory stick. Here's some links on the options available to you:

If you don't have time before your trip to buy it online, you can go to an electronics store, such as Best Buy or Circuit City, or CompUSA or a local computer store to get a portable drive.

Have a great trip!

Awesome! Those links were really helpful! I think I'm going to use my Ipod to store my pics on. Who knew? Thanks a lot!

You can always buy a 1g card for your camera. They'll hold hundreds of pitctures. I have one in my camera right now with over 800 pictures on it and I haven't had any trouble yet. I'm not deleting them just because I want to see how many it'll hold

I was going to suggest buying some more cards for your camera. What kind of card does it take. Compact Flash, etc.?

Oh, okay. That's what my camera takes too. I asked b/c my old camera took campact flash, and I'm looking to get rid of them.

You can invest in multiple mem cards too. They're reasonably priced now. I got a 1gb one for 29 dollars at Fry's Electronics.

We take multiple cards along on a long trip AND we take an extra battery because your battery will die at the most inopportune time - so we carry and extra battery in the camera case so that we can pop it in the camera at any time and then charge the dead one at the motel in the evening and we are always ready to get any pix.

The 1G memory sticks are still pretty expensive, I'm pretty sure.... I would totally get one for 29 $ if I could find it that cheap.

Those batteries are terrible at dying right when you want to take a picture the most!! Thanks for the tip!
