O/T Digital image storage?

Posted by Tony C on Wed Jun 18, 2003 01:26:30 PM

Hi All,
Kind of off-topic this one!

I am using my digital camera more and more and wonder how everyone else stores their pictures.

I have started to use Webshots to store images but do not know if the files will deterate with use and as a back-up I currently compress everything using WinZip then store on a LS120 super disk drive but these discs only hold 120mb and I soon fill one up.

For those of you using digital cameras, what methods do you use for storage?

I also save the images as jpeg's but IIRC each time I alter the image then resave, the quality deterates albeit slightly.

If this is correct, can I or should I save my images as a .bmp or .tiff file after transferring to my computer, without fear of deteration or should this been handled be the camera?

The camera that I am using is Fuji Finepix 2800Zoom and while not an all singing, all dancing camera, is highly recommended, if you are considering one.

Thanks for any advice.

Tony
