  • Hi, No any CD will do the job, A cd will hold between 200 and 300 photos depending on resolution. Alan.

    If you are going to use CDs to back up your photographs then make sure you use CD-R (recordable or write-once) and not CD-RW (rewritable).

    The re-writable discs are great for transporting changeable data but CD-R is more stable and better suited to long term storage - like your photo backups.
