I’ve got four letters for you…i-P-O-D! You can store both photos and your music on the same machine. Of course, you’ll also need a media reader to download to the iPod. Otherwise, do a search on this site (upper right corner). This question has been asked several times in recent months.

I just had my cards transferred to a CD at a photo shop with "digital service" or at an internet cafe. Most of the time it wasn’t very expensive, generally 3 to 5 euros — low of about $1.40 (including CD) in Ukraine. One place in Romania charged by the image, and that was fairly expensive, maybe $12.

A 40 Gb external storage would cost ~$350-400, I think. Not so cheap, so I’d rely on transferring the images to the CD – places to do this are numerous.

P.S. it seems that digital photography is becoming much more popular just now – a year ago as I reckon there were almost no questions on it, and now it’s several people each month asking.

don’t transfer to an iPOD the battery doesn’t last long enough in the i POD to complete the transfer if you are downloading a lot of photos.

Go into a camera shop and have you images downloaded to CD or DVD for a few dollars, then post it home.

Have the photos burnt to a CD at a photo shop. If you have a low capacity digital memory, buy a bigger one through an electronics outlet (not a camera outlet) on the internet. You will save about 50% in relation to a camera store. Search under your type of storage card + the desired memory size as in "Compact Flash" + " 256" or whatever size you need.
