[QUOTE="Nathan Lanni, post: 686513, member: 14629"] So to everyone here who has given me suggestions, here's a summary of how I've taken your suggestions and turned them into a plan. Thanks to you guys for talked me off the ledge. 1st time going to Europe and all .... I got too focused so now I'm actually thinking/looking at the big picture. :) I'm now planning on taking a notebook with an attached backup drive. It will help in the overall to protect my images but it will be good to use on site to review my images as they are produced. I'm still thinking I won't process any images in Europe. I have a really powerful PC in the US that I prefer to use for for various graphic functions, including Lightroom, PS, etc., plus I'm really sloooow at it. So I did some calculations and physically copied a bunch of average size NEF files (29mb) files on to a 32gb SD data card to see what it would take to fill it up. Turns out 160 files is 4.57gb on the disk. I suppose I should have known that, but before it always was whatever it was and I didn't pay attention as long as I had SD's to spare. On another site a pro blogger mentioned SanDisk Extreme Pro, so I tend to believe the claim they are more durable and fast. There's a faster grade than I'm getting but from what I can tell it's wasted on my d610, and once I finally upgrade it's a different format all together so why spend the money, right? I've purchased only 2 so far, so if I'm wrong about the speed please speak up.
