What equipment do you pack in your digital camera back when traveling? This is the latest question that I tackle at DPS this week after being asked the question by a reader. Here's one of the things I included in the list of items I pack:
"Memory Cards - gone are the days of having to haul mountains of film around with you but giving careful consideration to the way you store you images while away is definitely worth some careful consideration. Memory cards come in a large variety of capacities in most cases ranging from small ones (my first camera came with a 16MB card) through to cards with gigabytes of memory. One might be tempted just to get the largest size available but should consider the risks of this approach also. What if your card becomes damaged, what if it’s stolen, what if you lose it? In any of these scenarios hundreds and hundreds of photos will be lost unless you have some sort of a backup plan. The options for combatting such loss are many. On my last trip abroad I came across people who were doing everything from sending images home via email (imaging the bandwidth) to backing up photos on their iPods, to using multiple memory cards so if they lost one they’d still have some photos from their trip. Whatever your strategy (I’ll write a post on more of the options in the weeks ahead) you’ll need to pack the equipment concerned."
