I posted this question on another forum and since I am asking for opinions i am copying it here (so if you've seen it on the other place you know why):
So when going diving I would like to be able to copy my pictures from my camera to a different storage device. This would have two primary purposes 1) clear up my memory stick, and 2) ensure if my camera gets flooded I do not lose pictures taken earlier. A secondary advantage is to allow me to view my pictures after the dive.
Given that my laptop is too big. It is a dell XPS and those are desktop replacements. I already have enough to carry on the plane (divecaddy, plus camera bag) and then I have my checked in suitcase.
So I am looking to get a Netbook or iPad and could use some opinions.
iPad
-More expensive
-Smaller/lightweight (1.5 lb weight)
-64GB storage
Netbook
-Cheaper
-Slightly larger then iPad (2.5 lbs)
-100-120GB storage
As I am typing this I am thinking the netbook would serve me better but I am looking for opinions.
Thank you
