I’ve finally dumped my film hardware in favor of a Nikon D80, 18-135mm kit lens – I’ll be adding more lenses to my collection as time goes on.
I got it with a 2GB SD card, which should hold about 110 pictures in NEF+JPG (fine).
I’ve been using film for a long time, and one of the things recommended by most “pros” is that I’d need to break the habit of trying to get the shot “perfect” so as to not waste film.
I’ll probably be burning through 2GB of storage rather fast, so here’s my dilemma – do I really want to carry around multiple SD cards and possibly a laptop on trips, or does anyone have recommendations for other ways to back up the images?
I’ve been looking at things like the iPod Camera Connector, which would dump the images onto an iPod, and the Epson P-3000 or P-5000, but I really don’t think I need the expense involved in actually viewing the pictures in the field, nor do I need to be killing an iPod’s batteries with their Camera Connector.
Opinions?
