Hello everyone!

I'll be going on a 2 week long trip to europe in a couple of weeks, and need a few tips. I just picked up a sd300 after having my a80 sit idle for months. One thing I loved about the A80 though, was the battery life. I understand that the sd300 will not come close to it. which leads me to my first question...

How many batteries will i need for my trip? i will definatly bring 1 spare, but was wondering if one more would be nice (3 total). I will be gone for full days sightseeing many landmarks at once, so would this be a good idea?

And the next question is fairly general. How much memory would you bring? I have 3 512sd's already. I was thinking of using those for pics, and bringing a 1gig SD for my vid card..sound good?

thanks for your advice. :)

two batteries are enough, if you can carry the charger along which is so small to fit in anywhere(provided if u have access to a power socket ). and 512 MB card is more than enough if you are not taking much videos with SD300.

happy shooting ~

I'm headed to Europe mid-May myself. I am taking three batteries, a 1 gb card and a 512 mb card. I have the SD500, so I feel like I'll need the extra storage space for some full size photos that can be printed 8x10 or larger.

By the way...where are you going? I'm going to Italy and France. Rome, Florence, Pisa, French Riveria, Paris, and a few other places are the highlights of the trip.
