[QUOTE="johnwartjr, post: 8408, member: 2176"] I've always used a reader versus the cable to the camera. I'm familiar with ESD precautions, actually do a lot of electronics work. I've never considered using a strap while changing cards or loading them in a reader, though :) I picked up a small 320 GB USB hard drive last week so I can do a 2nd copy of my data 'in the field' - then when I get home, I can use it to copy the data to my big external drives. I hadn't considered the pros and cons of small and large cards. I bought 2x 32GB cards with my D700, thinking I could fit a lot of files on them, not considering that you could lose everything by not having to change cards out. I don't format my cards until I am ready to use them again - gives me an additional 'buffer' against catastrophe :) Always interesting to read how others do things... makes you think! [/QUOTE]
