Another "how do you take pics" thread...

lal32, you can buy extra memory cards at WDW, but I wouldn't advise it. Like others have mentioned, they are much more expensive and it would be cheaper to buy them before your trip.

As to you other question, you don't need to worry about airport x-ray machines affecting your digital cameras. The x-rays will not harm your cameras or the images stored on them. If you are still worried about that, request that they hand check your carry on with your camera instead of running them through the x-ray machine.

You can get an extra CF card easily at Walmart. I believe there is one very close to WDW. But as many have stated you may want to just purchase one before you go. If you are afraid that if you don't use it on your trip you'll have wasted the money just keep it in its original package and save the receipt. If you need it during your trip rip open the package and use it, if not you can return it unopened when you get home.

Two trips to WDW ago, we had our beloved Canon Digital Elph S400, but before the trip, managed to FORGET to clear out the CF card before we left (DOH!), and couldn't erase the pictures without losing important ones, so didn't have enough room left on the card, and didn't bring an extra CF card.

On-site, buying a new CF card is really overpriced, as mentioned above.

Turns out that on Main Street, for only a slightly exorbitant price, you can have the contents of a CF card burned to a CD, which is what we did.

This trip, we brought our brand-new Canon Digital Rebel XT (EOS 350D), with two 1 GB CF cards, and took 810 pictures in 7 days. Love the new camera, despite its size (we've named the camera and its telephoto lens Mongo).

For those who don't mind spending a little money and who take a lot of digital pictures, I saw this site (http://web.mymediagear.com/Default.aspx?tabid=88) mentioned on another thread.
