Message: [QUOTE="Tony Eeds, post: 1078253, member: 32023"] As some of y'all may know, I have become one with the Dual Sport world, pounding out the miles on El Puerco, getting intimate with this wonderful world we are blessed to have around us. To date image storage, while on a trip, has not been a problem, but that is about to change. Too date, I have simply downloaded my images to my laptop whenever my 2 Gig cards got full. We are taking two extended trips this year sans support, and I can see the challenge looming. West Texas (at 1250 miles adn 4 days) is possibly a issue but Mexico (at 2500+ miles and 9 days) is clearly beyond the storage capacity of my cards that I carry. In Mexico, 100% of my shots will be shot RAW and Large JPEG, so even a 2 Gig card does not hold many (134) shots. Additionally, when on a trip like the one to Mexico, I could easily see shooting 2,500, or more, shots over the 9 day period. I know you guys can shoot that or more in one day at the races and was wondering if you have dealt with this issue? At this point the option I like best is one of these new ultra small lap tops. I just don't know how well they would take the beating and (more importantly) vibration. I expect the drives that are made to be used in the field are designed to accept more than average abuse. Another thing I like about the laptop idea would be being able to sort images and delete the bad shots in the evenings, while sitting around chilling out. Mexico is going to be a once in a lifetime trip and I intend to document it extensively. Too make matters worse, a friend will be with me that shoots professionally for a newspaper. I asked him how he deals with it and he doesn't, as he is always up against a deadline anyway and never even fills his 256 Meg cards he uses. :) Although it is another story, he also never shoots RAW, as it doesn't matter. I have to work on him, because he will be carrying a EOS 1D. :nod: I will have my 20D and G6. All thoughts and musings will be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
