Re: 8Gigs of Memory is NOT Enough for a 3 Week European Trip
Or you could be very diligent about deleting all but your best work
every evening.
If you ask a true master of photography how many photos they take in a
day, you are likely to find out that they take days per photograph.
I don't expect you to do the same thing, and I don't, but I sure do
delete a lot. Frankly I would be ashamed for someone to see all the photos
I take on a trip. I only keep the best.

Ok, what are my chances of finding a
computer kiosk in Cairo/Egypt which can burn a DVD or CD-R for me? I
mean, they must have internet access.
So i should be able to find them, right?
I would much rather burn them to DVD than buy another
piece of hardware i'm practically only gonna use once!

I understand what you mean exactly.
I've found, even before the digital age, that
only about 1 in every 20-30 pics is a REAL keeper
of a photograph.
I've definitely gotten used to deleting bad,
blurry pics on my Powershot G3, so maybe i'll just be
diligent about it every night.
And this will allow me to go crazy at the beginning
(when i can afford to take tons of photos), and hopefully
be more selective at the end of the trip (during which, i
hope to improve as a photographer, anyways).

So, take more than one memory card.

8GB is peanuts. It may be sufficient for one day of shooting, but not
for three weeks. I've just returned from a three weeks trip to east Asia
with close to 80GB of photos...

In Cairo, excellent. Most large cities anywhere in the world would have
that facility. Now small towns in the rural areas or countries like
Bangladesh, probably not.

Now that the idea of computer kiosk has come up, we have to
consider one of the many photo hosting services - like Flickr.
Maybe somebody who travels can comment on the practicalities of
uploading a gig or so of photos via a kiosk.
If it's practical, it would seem that no additional equipment is
needed - beyond enough cards to get from
kiosk-session-to-kiosk-session.

First you're going to Europe, now you're asking about Egypt.
Did you do geography at school?
