TwitterIf you're going to work with any kind of digital media, you should bring at least one flash drive with you when traveling. The Sandisk Cruzer series of USB Flash Drives have proven to be extremely popular because of their simple yet effective design. Things I liked: - Retractable contact point, so no need to worry about lost caps - Easy to use plug-and-play setup - Durable, particularly the Titanium models - Cheap Things that need work: - The Titanium model would have a tendency to heat up when plugged into a hot computer/laptop - Some buyers have complained of data recognition issues. I would recommend buying one, keeping the receipt, and using the drive extensively for several weeks to make sure it's ok. Even if you don't go with Sandisk, make sure to bring at least one USB drive with you when travelling. Also, make sure to get the highest capacity you can (I would go with at least 8Gb). Sandisk Micro Series (Amazon.com price+shipping) 4Gb (.95+.95) 8Gb (.20+.50) 16Gb (.41+.50) Sandisk Titanium Series (Amazon.com price+shipping) 4Gb (.14+.99) 8Gb (.25+.99) 16Gb (.98+.50) This video was shot with an Olympus 770SW.
