memory card size
What are peoples opinions on memory card size? I opt for a couple of 1gig cards and some 512 MB as well. My view is, although the larger 2 and 4 gig cards are great (ie less swapping around of cards 'in the feild'), surley you are putting all your eggs in one basket?
If the card fails when using a 4 gig you could loose a days worth of snaps? |

Use a mixture of 1GB and 2GB cards not had any failures yet I have 7 cards (3 x 2GB and 4 x 1 GB) that just about gets me through a day of shooting

That must be one of those 48 hour days! How many shots do you average in a day?

And how long does it take you to go through them when you get home?
Makes my single 1GB card look a bit feeble really doesn't it? I've got to get another card though, just in case mine goes loopy when I'm out and about. |

Well the question is what images are you shooting? If you´re shooting 12mpix RAW images , 1 GB is way too less. I am shooting 6mpix JPEG and two 1 GB cards were allways enough for me , i never ran out of space.
And theres allways the Laptop in the media centre to unload the cards

Having had a couple of 2gb cards fail on me after a day and half's shooting I'd recommend using lots of smaller ones,certainly no bigger than 1gb..as you say dont oput all your eggs in one basket

Yep, I think lots of smaller ones.
Image wise I fire off a 1000'odd, I give the racers a DVD of the event, so pretty much take a couple of each car every time it comes around - and yes some are over a couple of days. As a result you may have a couple of qualies and a couple of races. I probably use 50 / 60 candid around the paddock as well, and at 1 to 1.5meg a shot it soon adds up! |

It takes me about 15 hours to get them all off, batch converted, sorted into driver folders then uploaded to the web site. |
