Guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 FYI--The photo shop right above Thermae in the Ambassador Hotel complex (Sukhumvit Soi 15, I think) bears an ad for the downloading of digital photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycona Posted January 9, 2002 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Thanks for the replies lads. Appreciated I ran some tests yesterday and it seems there is a difference between "standard" and "fine". Fine: 1600KB - Standard 1100KB of the top of my head. I will need to make two exact the same pictures (one standard, one fine) to be 100% sure. Will do this this evening. Sofar the benefit has been that I have finally found out how to shoot MPEG movies with the damn thing . I seldomly read more than a few pages of manuals quote: 2mb images are an extravagence and unless the subject matter is really special Indeed. The size in bytes is what worries me more! It is perfectly possible to have a ~2300x~1800 (guestimate) JPEG with a filesize of less than 500KB. Having 80MB in memory sticks would then make for 160 pics which is not bad at all. I like having big pics, leaves all the options open. Can print them should I want so. Image viewers resize them on the fly. quote: Tycona, why dont you hire out a computer for a day when you need to uppload? Now that's an idea. Where can I do this in BKK and Pattaya?? quote: First, do you know where you will be uploading to? Yes, I have a domain with 100MB disk space availabe quote: Second, uploading 64MB is going to take a LONG time Yes, indeed. Still it would only be a third or a fourth of it. Around 18MB or so. JPEG filesize can be greatly reduced. I opened and saved a few 1MB+++ JPEG last trip with Photoshop 6 and filesize was reduced to 100KB Maybe best would be to find a place that downloads the images/movies from the camera (or memstick directly) and then burns them onto a CD. Uploading would be too much of a hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 10, 2002 Report Share Posted January 10, 2002 Couple of things. First, do you know where you will be uploading to? My experience is having a couple hundred meg on the internet is not going to be cheap unless you have your own computer setup as a server back home. Second, uploading 64MB is going to take a LONG time. Internet places I have seen are using modems which means 56Kbps down, 18Kbps up. So to upload 64MB would take 8 hours, given no one else was sharing the connection. Just checking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haltest Posted January 13, 2002 Report Share Posted January 13, 2002 There are USB readers available as well which you should be able to connect up to any computer in any internet shop. Also many photo places will take the pictures off for you and put on a CD for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qxguy Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 I have had good luck carrying a Digital Wallet. Its very small and contains a 3 Gig hardrive and takes any type of media. About $175US or less. Store thousands of images. Very easy and quick. qxguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
