Question about digital photography at Disney

[LauraBean]

I'm leaving for WDW in a week. I have a brand new digital Canon Rebel camera. I have two 256mb and one 128 mb cards. I know I will fill them up and I'm wondering if the camera kiosks in the park have the capability to download compact flash cards and write them to cd. Anyone done digital at Disney recently?

Thanks so much,

Laura

Thanks Gutto for your reply, I will check out the thread. I use my Canon Rebel on the highest setting and each picture is about 3 to 3.5 mb in size. So on a 256K card I can get about 70 photos. I'm a big shutterbug and I know I'll fill up all my cards on our 8 day vacation and need more space. I'm new to this whole digital thing and haven't traveled with the digital camera before, so I'm trying to figure the whole thing out. Thanks so much for your help!

I would just purchase more memory cards. That way you can burn them to CD when you get home. Every evening go through the images on your camera and delete the ones that didn't turn out.

Remember when you save them to CD you should make another copy. It isn't considered a backup unless you have 2 copies.

Also depending on what size you plan on printing you may not need to save at the highest resolution. The highest size allows usually for 11x14 or larger prints. If you aren't planning on printing at that size lower the resolution and you could fit more on a card.

I usually have my laptop and download them myself.

Buy more memory cards (I have a 512) and knock your resolution down a notch or two ... I have a Canon G3 and use the second setting and am able to print up to a 20x? print ... which is bigger than I'll ever need.

We have two memory cards and this is also our first time in Disney with it. We do however travel with our laptop and every night dh loads them on there so my memory starts fresh in the am. Thanks for the link to that thread, I will read it so maybe I can do that too if I happen to take more pictures then I thought. One card takes 200 and the other takes 100 so that should be enough but you never know!

Every evening at WDW when we get the kids in bed, we hook up our digital camera (Nikon CoolPix 950) to the TV and review our photos. We delete any picture that we consider unusable, or basically a duplicate of another picture. We are able to weed out a significant number of pictures that way and leave more room on the memory card. That's the great thing about digital cameras -- you can pick and choose which pictures to keep before you spend money getting them printed.

I have an Olympus camera (w/ 2 sets of rechargable batteries) and last weekend, my daughter and I went to Epcot for the weekend. I used up the first set of batteries on Saturday and figured the second set would last all of Sunday... (I was not prepaired!)

Anyway, I snapped a photo of my daughter with Space Mickey and Goofy and the photo froze on my LCD screen. Basically, the camera didn't have enough juice to process the photo. It wouldn't even turn off. Needless to say, I lost a really good photo (and had to buy over priced batteries at MouseGear.).

I had never killed batteries mid-photo before so now I will definitely change them when it starts to show a low batt. warning.

Just something else to think about!!

If you can buy more cards. The photo Cds in tha kodak store in Epcot is expensive and they only download 33 photos for cd.
