[QUOTE="DW_, post: 50658, member: 8667"] Dr, I know you'll understand this when I say "I hate you"! :dispirited: LOL!!! I don't think I'll get my grubby hands on mine until mid April, maybe sooner but I'm mentally prepared for an even longer wait. As for computers, as long as you have a decent quad processor (I've the core i7 chip) and sufficient memory you'll be okay. Disc space, on the other hand, will quickly evaporate. I imagine an NEF shot in 14 bit is going to be a LARGE file. So I think we will all be much quicker on the culls than we were with smaller sized images. Nevertheless, storage will the name of the game. For me, I like externals and cloud. The nice thing about cloud style storage is that it will always be there. Your house could burn down (God forbid) and with it your external drives but your cloud storage will still be there. Btw - Amazon gives anyone who has a membership 2 gigs of storage space for free. Not a bad deal, IMO, and after the first 2 gigs it goes up fairly reasonably. Also, "dropbox"also has a deal where you can have 2 gigs storage for free and an additional 250 mb's for everyone you get to sign up. So if anyone is considering using dropbox send me a PM and I"ll forward you an invite. What is nice about dropbox is that you can share very large files with others. Kinda like "fetch" used to be back in the early 90's. I use it for transfering RAW files and large PDF's. [/QUOTE]
