Question about the Digital Camera SD Cards???

[disneygirl1977k]

Hey guys,
Went shopping for digital camera's today and found a couple that I loved....however, my question is about the SD Cards.....What suggestion do you guys have about clearing off your memory cards so that you can re-use them while you are down there....is there anywhere on-site at Disney to do this? Or What do I do about keeping my cards clear so I can take more pics....I take a lot of pictures and I have 2 SD cards and I don't want to spend a lot of money on buying more cards....just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to do this....Thanks guys.

We just delete any pictures we don't like -- our Nikon lets us choose and delete any photo individually.

I take my laptop with me, leave it in the room, and download them each night. Obviously this only an option if you have a laptop.

I believe there are places on site that will take your card and cut a CD with the pictures on them. If not, this can be done off-site at Walmart or possibly even Walgreens I believe, as well as other places, I imagine.

I find it sometimes difficult to tell on the small LCD screen of the camera if the picture is worth keeping or not, so I don't usually delete them until it's obvious they aren't good pictures. And I take a lot of picture, it's the beauty of digital.

Thanks guys......I never thought of that....I have a laptop and I will just take that with me and upload them from my camera to the computer.....thanks guys, however, if anyone knows of any on-site places to put the SD discs in and put on CD's I would like to know so I wouldn't have to take my computer.

I did a DISboards search on the CD burning topic and couldn't find anything, even though I know it's been discussed recently. I guess my searching skills need improvement. I would also like to know in case I don't want to take my laptop one of these trips (I think my wife would be stunned!)

One nice thing about having the laptop is that I usually leave the screensaver going with the picture directory I am loading up and as the trip goes along, we have a sort of instant slideshow with our day's memories. That way the laptop becomes a nice piece of decor in the room instead being an eyesore, or just being in the way.

I heard that there are several places in varies park that will upload your memory cards on to a CD or even into a Disney picture album. I also heard this may be available at some resorts.
80 days and counting...

The camera shops in all of the parks will copy your images from and memory card to CD for about $12. I think there is a limit to the number of images per CD (120/CD) I think. In my opinion it would be better to do it at home on your own computer or go to Walmart or Walgreens and get it done for about $5 instead.

Also, I would suggest taking more than one memory card just incase you have problems with one card, you will have a spare and save having to spend more than needed to replace your memory card.

With my card last year - I took it to Walgreens and downloaded them - thank goodness I checked before I deleted b/c they did not all transfer - I would definately not go the walmart route!!!

I asked about it at the parks and they told me they would keep the card and I could get it back the next morning - so in the parks it is not an instant option!

I am taking my laptop this time! my pictures are too important to trust anyone else to transfer them!!!

I take mine to my local Wal-mart all the time and never have a problem. You can download to a disk for $2.86. The disk hold up to 250 pictures. You also get a little print out of all the pictures on the disk.

Personaly, I have 3 SD cards so I'm hoping not to run out of room but if I do, I'm heading to Wal-mart to download them.
