Ive stopped shooting jpegs with the RAW to save file space, and I'm also alot more critical now with the photos I keep, both after the shot and once they're on the computer. I mean, honestly... I don't need alot of the photos I take anyway, so why keep them around wasting space?<BR/><BR/>As for storage, I have two 2gb SD cards (about 110 photos each) and 2 320gb external SATA drives, one of which is a backup. It's not an ideal setup, but my current computer limits my options. <BR/><BR/>A 320gb seagate with an eSATA enclosure costs me about 150 bucks, or $.50 a gb.

There is just so much more colour, dynamic range, detail, etc to work with...Andrew Strainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16266253455251283978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6845153361977962851.post-71495464146995667012007-04-21T02:02:00.000-07:002007-04-21T02:02:00.000-07:00Nice pic.When I eventually get a DSLR (was actuall...Nice pic.<BR/><BR/>When I eventually get a DSLR (was actually looking at a bunch in the store this afternoon) I will consider shooting with RAW.<BR/><BR/>But how on earth do you handle those crazy file sizes? I've got a 120GB external hard drive fitted in a case to plug in memory cards and offload directly, 1GB/minute, but 120GB limits how many RAW files you can keep...PhotoDiaristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03693193416260601889noreply@blogger.com
