Photo Q&A...
How to Send a Large Group of Photos I was the amateur photographer at a friend's wedding. I took 200 photos in 'fine' resolution. What is the best way to move the photos to a CD to give to her? I'm sure that moving the JPEGs via my own laptop would take forever! Help! - Fathan Groulx
ANSWER 1: I used to use a wonderful stand-alone CD burner that made CDs directly from media cards with no need for a computer - great for travel (Iomega, I think). I've seen a few others since then, but in any event, that would involve additional expense so not an option unless you'd be using it often. Can't imagine it would take THAT long to burn 200 photos from your laptop, though, even if they're very high-res.
And BTW, if you do want the standalone burner, go for a DVD burner, not CD. You'd need multiple CDs to store that many photos. That's mostly why I stopped using ours - the higher megapixel cameras meant one day's outing would fill up at least 2 or 3 CDs.
You might also transfer your photos to a flash drive - they're relatively cheap - and give it to her on that. You should be able to get all of them on a 4 MB drive, which you should be able to get for 10 bucks or less. - Monnie Ryan
ANSWER 2: Thumb drives have gotten very cheap. It would be quite easy to drag a folder from your hard drive to the USB drive. Also, I don't think burning 200 photos (even at high res) would take an exceptionally long time. - Irene Colling
