Merkin's answer is good. Memory cards are cheaper than laptops and you can 
carry a spare or 2 in your pocket.

Laptops have other advantages though, besides just a storage device. I've got 
an older 2 MP camera with a 128m card.It holds about 55 pics at max resolution 
(1600x1200). I always take my laptop on vacation to transfer the files at night 
and for dialup for email. It uses USB so it's painless

  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,
