I've been using a Sony P-72. It's a 3 megapixel camera that uses the Sony
memory stick for storage. The memory stick also works in my Clie PDA. One of
the features I like is that it will simultaneously save a photo in both high
and low resolution files, so I don't have to resample photos to post them on
the web. This feature can be turned off to save storage space. The camera is
small enough to fit in my pocket, and photo quality is good. For casual
photography ( and haluling it around on geocaching expeditions) it is fine.
For serious photography, I would buy a better camera. As the newer 4 and 5
megapixel cameras drop in price, the 3 megapixel models are becoming very
affordable.

I have a mavica cd1000 that I take pick with the advantage is that it stores Pics on cd rom right in the camera. You can connect to a computer by USB to get the pics or take the disk out and read it with a cd-rw. You can now buy the camera much cheeper than I bought it on ebay

First things first: I'm ignorant (in case you were not already convinced).
With that out of the way...I am seriously considering purchasing a fairly high quality digital camera, probably in the 4-5 megapixel range. My concern is storage. I don't want to purchase a camera that "can" take hi-res pictures but then dummy it down to lo-res because my butt's on a butte in Utah and my memory card, stick or disc (or cards, sticks or discs) are full.
I don't have a laptop, but I'm considering one. It would be my storage device so that I can take the quality of picture that I desire while on my adventures.
Is that a feasible (albeit expensive) approach or are there better ways to shoot high quality digital photos without running into storage problems out in the field.
Thank ye for your input,
