Image cards and storage can be very expensive. I solved that problem with an Image Tank. They come in many sizes and varieties and with several features. I chose the 40GB iMAGE TANK G2 $260. http://www.mydigitaldiscount.com/s.nl/c.ACCT139057/sc.2/category.34/.f;jsessionid=ac112b771f43a9b06c93c0e841808112b2f24a8aa7d1 Now I can carry three CF cards and empty them into the G2, which is equipped with the same hard disk drive used in laptops. Once at home, the images are transferred from the tank to the PC for "processing". These units are great also for holding music and other data.
