well as the head line states…i am looking at getting a new digital camera…since i am leaving in a few months… for a yr to a yr and a half…and i do not want to take my laptop… so i am trying to see what my options are…i am looking for some device that has a decent amount of storage so i can store my pictures while i am gone.i would like the device to be able to just plug into the camera…i know that memory for a camera gets used up pretty fast while taking decent sized pics… well if worse come to wrose i will just have to buy a low budget laptop with a cd burner while i am away…so any help would be greatly apreicated…and i am also collecting donations j/k… on a side note i will prob buy a camcorder the one that records to dvds so i am safe there ---

Nikon makes a camera with 1gb drives… if you set it to a lower resolution say 640x480 i would image you could take 2000 pictures ---
