Ever since this post on Internet Cafes and downloading pics off a CD, I've been chatting with various travelers out there about dijicams.
Claudia has been a big help with suggestions on cameras and storage. She asked me what I might feasibly be looking for in a camera. I told her less than $500, and storage hefty enough for lots of high- and low-rez shots, as well as with easy upload for when I’m in cybercafes.
In addition to these comments, here are some of her camera recommendations and observations:
“I thought this seems like a great deal, the mem card is big enough where you wont be killing yourself to download at every computer you find. I still can’t find anything that doesn’t need some sort of software installed. Check out the size though, it’s also a 4.0 MegaPixel so a good combo of high res and low.”
“Same deal, diff cam.”
Claudia’s a New Yokkah girl, so the gear above and other equipment can be found at B&H Photo Video Pro Audio in New York City.

How much are extra memory cards? And how hard is it to actually plug in to some strange PC in Timbuktu?
And yes, B&H is the coolest photo store!
These cameras all include 256MB Compact Flash cards, which bought on their own, cost about $65 each. You can get 128MB-1Gig, with obviously the 1 Gig ones being way more expensive.
Oh, also these are all to be connected with USB cable, which is more and more common.
Be careful when buying digicams from anyplace in NY or NJ. “Bait and switch” is too common and if you don’t bite you may find your camera suddenly ‘out of stock’
