Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / October 2004Exchanging Digital Media - Pictures
My son has a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W1 5.1 megapixel digital camera and he lives out of state. He does not have a high speed Internet connection. I want to exchange portable media (digital pictures) with him. What is the preferred portable media to mail - ZIP disks almost indestrutable, burn CDs? Thanks, Mike I would use CD's  SignatureJoseph E. Meehan 26 + 6 = 1 It's Irish Math > My son has a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W1 5.1 megapixel digital camera and he > lives out of state.

Actually, the pouch is made from the same non-tear can-get-wet-and-not-fall-apart stuff that those large white US mail envelopes are made from, but anyway... In the rare occasion a CD gets lost or damaged, the cost of re-sending it is extremely low. ZIP or JAZ disks are in comparison quite expensive and could easily get damaged. What I mean is, use CD's and don't bother packaging them with anything that takes it above standard letter-rate weight. No need for expensive waterproof/bubble-wrap envelopes. >makes sense, cheap and easy to do. > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >>> >>> Mike -- Owamanga! Makes sense to me.
