Egypt digital camera
Hi group,
I will travel in Egypt later this month with my digital camera. I will be
staying in Cairo, Luxor and Aswan. Will I be able to find an Internet cafe
where I can either upload photos or burn them on a CD? I have an Olympus
camera with USB connection which uses SmartMedia cards. Any advice would be
appreciated!
Greetings from Rotterdam,
amy

Hallo.
In de Rough Guide en de Lonely Planet staan er wel een aantal opgesomd. In
Cairo weet ik er toevallig een te zitten, maar je vindt ze in Luxor en Aswan
ook wel.
Groet, Jan.

Re: Egypt digital camera
When I travel with my digital camera I take an Image Tank that allows me to
download my Compact Flash Cards onto a hard drive each day. I then reformat
the card using the camera and shoot another batch of pictures. I would not
want to rely on trying to find somewhere to either email the images or burn
a CD every time my flash cards started to fill up.
The Image Tank I have has a 10 GB hard drive, but the newer ones have drives
up to 40 GB. That should be enough for most trips, even if you go crazy
with your camera.
When I was in a major city I took the Image Tank to a computer/camera store
and had them burn CD's of all the images I had taken to date. That gave me
a back-up copy in case something happened to the Image Tank.
Just be sure to research ahead of time and be sure you have chargers and
adapter plugs for camera batteries and storage medium that will work with
the local power supply.

I don't think there would be a problem, in Cairo for example, try the
Internet Cafe (Internet Egypt) at Midan Simon Bolivar, they have a goods
service.

Amy,
sorry, I don't have an answer for your question, only a hint on
the sidelines.
I just bought a digital camera as well and found that there are
now memory cards with high capacity for more or less reasonable
prices.
I initially bought an SD card with 256 MB, but 512 MB is also
available.
These sizes would allow you to keep a fair number of pictures in
the camera, possibly enough if you delete the bad ones on the
go.

Yeah, you can find someone to do it though you should bring a copy of the
camera's driver CD with you.
I've found that the price for this ranges from $2 (Southeast asia) to $20
(USA and Europe). In the middle east you can usually get it done for $5 or
so. Shop around once you find the area with all the little computer stores.
