On my trip to Africa, I only used SD Cards. I brought more than enough for the trip and after dinner each night I chimped very quickly to delete those that were obviously not worth keeping. Started a new card each morning with yesterday's card safely stored. No computer, no card reader. I know that doesn't answer your question, but it is a good, fast, safe, inexpensive way to keep your photos until you get back home.
Great idea Chief. On my vacations out of the country I generally take along 10 SD cards, numbered appropriately, 1-10. Every day I photograph a piece of paper with the location and the date to start. I have never needed more than the 10 cards but my wife generally had more if necessary. When I got back to the states I downloaded the cards onto my MacPro and was good to go. Only when the photos were successfully in my computer library did I delete the photos and reformat my SD card. Works perfectly.
