zcf said:I went for China's Silk Road trip for 10 day, I brought 2 x 1GByte SD card with me, but not enough as I shoot a lot (discard a lot later also), luckily I manage to find a photo developing shop to download and burn them into CD. Altogether I shot 1200+ photos, which is about 3 Gbytes.
Now I just got a external hard disk, just in case I am short of Flash memory again.
lightchaser said:The more the better. At least 4 GB.
Shoot first, select later when have time.
jbma said:it all depends on teh individual style of shooting. There is no one pill cure all situation.
I don't know about you, I would rather waste time on filtering more photos than miss some nice shots, of course definitely to a certain extend.sinlg said:of course the more the merrier. But most people have a budget
Also, if take too much rubbish, later have to waste time filtering or throwing stuffs away
4GB would mean almost 1600 photos (5mp) over 10 days. 160 photos a day or 16 photos per hour (assuming a 10 hrs photoshooting day)
In that case I suggest you buy and external storage device and just bring a 1 GB CF card.sinlg said:yes.. so i want to find the optimal way of shooting pictures, and the optimal memory storage to carry . Ultimately, it's a compromise, but with best practices, and optimal amount of memory, we can make every holiday a memorable one!

I took over 20GB when i went europe for 1 mth.huggable said:Yeah, Huggable took nearly 4GB of pictures + video during the last UK trip, which lasted about 2 weeks. Had only a 1GB SD card, and a laptop. So had to transfer the pictures to the laptop HDD and burn to CDR as well.
