Since it's only Alaska, and you won't be upset if you lose images, you can trust them to a hard drive that you'll be bumping and taking along with you. If it were me, and I wanted to minimize the chance of losing once-in-a-lifetime pictures, I'd spend my money on more compact flash cards. Odds of losing an image off solid state memory are a lot smaller than the odds of losing data from a magnetic hard drive. If you're just looking for backup, the hard drive isn't a bad option. But if you're wanting to move the images from your cards and reshoot on those same cards, I'd have trouble sleeping, myself. :) -- Eric http://canid.com/
