Going overseas, using iPhone 5 as camera: 32 or 64GB?

I'm going to buy an iPhone 5 outright which I will use as a phone, music player, photo/video camera etc. (essentially as an all-in-one device) for the next 2 years, including when I'm in France for 2 months on a mini-exchange program at the end of the year. My question is, will the 32GB model be enough or should I opt for the 64GB? I'll have access to my computer almost every night, so I can upload photos/videos if I need to - although this would be a major pain in the but. 32GB or 64GB - which do you recommend, and why?

Frankly I'd opt for getting a real camera. Better pictures, better resolution, more storage. You can get a good 14mp camera (iPhone 5 is only 8mp) for around $100 and can get a 32gb card for less than $20.

But since you're of the mind to get the iPhone, I'd go with the 64GB option. Simply because the memory in the iPhone is all the memory there's. That's shared between the iOS software, the pre-installed apps, as well as any videos, music, and other apps you install. All of these can take up your memory.

And if you're not careful the iTunes software may decide to take your left over space and fill it with random music leaving you with nothing to take the photos with. And it's next to impossible to delete music from the iPhone without having iTunes running and connected to the phone.

Hence why I suggest any serious photography be done with a real camera. Far less hassle and better results.

If you can, you should always get the 64GB. Its better to have more memory than not enough. And also when/if you decide to sell it later down the road, you would be able to sell it for more. And it also gives you bragging rights. Because majority of the people are going for the cheaper models. You can say i have the top of the line 64GB

Get the 64GB model. The 8MP pictures and 1080P video will burn through storage like no tomorrow.
