I bought this about a month ago, since then I have downloaded all of my last trip to Disney, a trip to AZ, a baptism, a graduation, about 4 birthday parties.... and a dozen mouselanious other things, and have about 22 g left for more pics. You can delete or burn or just leave pics right on the drive, and its portable, and rechargeable. I download the pics easily by inserting the memory card (and this particluar one is compatible with 6 different memory cards) and select copy, then it tells me the progress, and when its done, never longer than a few minutes. then when I get home, I can burn it to a CD or copy to my computer or just leave them. It was also nice, I was able to copy pics from friends who were traveling with me as well-- and they had a different digital camera than I had, so no waiting for them to burn me a CD.
If you could get something like this--- I would highly recomend it, and I am not very techno hip... but this WAS EASY to use and understand.
but thats my own oppion.
good luck.
