Although, right now the memory cards are dropping in price. There was a 1GB SD card on sale for $25 at Best Buy 2 weeks ago and this week (July 30, 2006) there are 512 memory cards on sales for $15. CompUSA has a 512MB SD card for $12 this week. FWIW JT

Like Deb, I don't really feel confident with the pictures just on my camera so I would probably go the CD option too.

Originally Posted By mickeynewe I love digital cameras. I bought my first one when they first came out, I still have it somewhere, what a dinosaur...

I think the CD idea is great! I would have definitely utilized it in the past. Now, I always carry about 2GB of film on vacation (and yes, I will utilize all 2GBs on our next 3-day trip) and my family is used to me just snapping away to my hearts content. They never complain. When we get home I always put together some great slideshows utilizing a very easy-to-use program called Muvee. I also use Ulead Video Studio to edit the video footage my hubby shoots and incorporate the two into a home movie. Just thought someone might be interested in the 2 different programs. Both very easy to use and they make quality projects!
