Any storage method is generally ok. Main difference is capacity and cost.
CD smallest & cheapest
DVD standard has 4.7 gb more expensive than a Cd
Memory stick can be got with capacity of 32 Gb but are progressively
more expensive
External drive capacity is almost unlimited, I believe now in Terrabite
(spelling??) territory, certainly 250 Gb or 500 are quite common and
relatively not too expensive (relatively)
I personally use CD's, DVD's and Memory sticks (largest one which I use
is 8Gb.
I do not bother to erase once I have saved to disc, However you should
be able to although unless you use rewritables you will not gain
anything by doing so. The temptation, I find, is to save photos which
really should have been scrapped !

Although I can add to the DVD I cannot delete any photos aready there.
I am now thinking to buy either a memory stick/flash drive or an
external hard drive.
Can anybody tell me the pros and cons of each of these and which one
they would recommend?
Thanks for your input
