In the past it used to be so that you could not trust memory cards, so
you would not use too large sizes, to avoid losing all images in case of
a malfunction. But I get the impression that nowadays memory cards are
very reliable, so you could in principle put a 256GB memory card into
the camera, and only use that for an entire trip. Any thoughts about
this?

Haven't seen much about brands here yet, so.... I have had a few failures
on the usual "cheap" cards I used to get, which scared the devil out of me.
Upon a little study on the matter, I have settled on Lexars, which have
never failed me. I format them in camera before I use them. Now using SDXC
64 and 128G for 4k video with great success.

I use SanDisk and Lexar CF and SDHC cards and have not exerienced any failures.
That said there was a period back when I was using 2 GB CF cards that
some Lexar CF cards would only upload to my desktop using their
proprietrary card reader, and their proprietry card reader would not
read other brand cards. I am glad to say they fixed that thinking some
time ago. I still have two of those readers which were bundled with the
CF cards, today they are just useless relics.
