I have a Sanyo VPC-S500 digital camera and I would like to know some things please.?

I recieved a Sanyo VPC-S500 digital camera for my birthday and since I've been using it I now have 141 pictures and a few videos too. IMO, it works very well and the video quality is very clear. But the one thing I'm not sure on is how to save everything. I know how to transfer stuff from the camera to my laptop, but then what should I do? Should I keep everything on my 1GB SanDisk, or should I keep everything on my laptop and delete everything fron my SanDisk as it'll free up more space on the SanDisk? Then if I keep everything on my laptop, and delete everything on the SanDisk to free up more space, should I then start using a memory stick as a backup copy in case something goes wrong with my laptop?

Thanks.

Any more advice and/or suggestions would be helpful, too.

Once you copy your memory card to your computer you can again copy the same to a CD and can make extra copies and format the memory card in the camera itself and it is ready to shoot again with 1 GB memory.
If you want you want you can also make copies of CD and can even keep a set in a banks deposit locker.

I have the same exact camera & It works amazing lol.

Um..but what I do, is I upload the pictures to my computer in a folder, then I delete the pictures from my camera. Then you dont have to buy a new memory card when you run out of space on your camera from old pictures.

Also, you can upload your photos on a Photobucket account before your computer goes wrong so when you get a new computer, your pictures will still be on Photobucket :)

Read the manual.
