And a 10 mega pixel camera. Please do that math.

I <3 my camera.  12x optical zoom, 12.1 megapixels.  Can get about 20-30 min of HD video on a 2GB card.  About 600 HD pics, no vid.

Most times I have it turned down to 6MP and can get ~100.

My camera is 6MP.  B/f did a lot of research into cameras before picking one out, and asked his uncle who does a lot with cameras and stuff, and said that unless you're blowing the pictures up to poster size, you really don't need much more than 6.  I see little difference between the 6MP DSLR Nikon and the point and shoot 10MP Canon.  Except max resolution--Nikon goes higher.

My experience is that those bloody cards are so easy to loose I keep a large stash of 1 gigs specifically because hey won't hold everything, and if I go on a trip or something I will defenitly have to swap them out a few times. Comes in handy when that murphionic field jumps up and steals or wipes one out before I get home....... I only lose a few pics instead of them all.

SO if you need I'll grab a close seat and start feeding you cards when you need them.  ;D


Any dinner outings or bar gatherings planned?

What I'm planning on is having one card that will hold one panel and bring my laptop along and transfer the footage immediately after.

That sounds like a good system, Pech.

Me, I tend to just forget my camera. Transfer/loss problem solved!  :D
