    I guess the goal is not to lose any photos. And not waste valuable time finding similar images from the internet and pass them off as his own

    Here is a large list of devices, even if they don't ship to UK you can at least get some make/models of it and look locally:

        Some thing like this?

        Mini Full HD 1080P HDMI Multi Media Player TV Box USB HDD MKV FLAC USB MP3 NE | eBay

        Just add an external hard drive, plug in the SD card, push the button to copy. As it's about £15, it doesn't matter if it gets thrown, so long as it does for the holidays. Says UK based, so delivery should be OK. I've used something similar in the past, good for the price, but not the best.

          Canon EOS 350 and a Powershot G9

          I'll have a handful of cards for each, so could be OK.

            In the end, I bought one of these.

            Has native SD card reader (probably SDXC but I didn't try an XC card), and I bought a USB compact flash reader to backup the CF cards.

            It also serves as a WiFi hotspot to read the files back off, and so can be used as a media streamer to a few devices as well, so when we go away I'll stick some music and movies on there to play back to tablets etc.

            They sell a few variants of different sized drives, or without a drive and you put your own drive in. For the price difference it wasn't worth it to put my own drive in, though.
