I have a 32gig card in one camera and a 64gig in the other and can shoot
for months on a card.

Why? Serious question.

After I download the images from my card to my computer I format the
card.

It seems that what you do is leave the images on the card and continue
to shoot. I don't see any advantage to that.

Am I missing something?


Never had a problem with one but I copy the images to several different
computers on a regular basis

If redundancy is the goal, it's not necessary to retain the images on
the card. They can be copied to other devices other ways.




The card holds so many images I have no worry about it getting
filled...I can format the card every six months if I want.


I am thinking of just keeping them , when full for one more b/u though


Your system is your system, but I am curious. I don't see the point
of retaining the images on the card. Doing it, you have to take the
extra step of including in the upload instructions to only upload
those that haven't been uploaded before. Don't you?

Nikon's View NX2 does that automatically. That's one of the reasons I
still use it even though I have LR.

It is another back-up device, but I dunno if it's that practical for
this purpose.
