cme4brain Posted October 18, 2007 Share #2 Posted October 18, 2007 Sandisk Extreme III 8GB bundle: Digital Photography Review Leica needs to add SDHC capability to the M8 pronto! I think that lots of professional photogs will bypass this extra capacity as it will put too many pix on one card that could fail. Most split their pix between cards.

Most split their pix between cards. It is more than about capacity. The handwriting is on the wall; SDHC is the future for this card type. Plain SD cards may be hard to come by in the future. Also, once one gets a pile of 2GB cards, for example, and needs to carry more capacity, too many cards can become a liability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjphoto Posted October 18, 2007 Share #4 Posted October 18, 2007 I want to put it all on one card ! Never have lost an image on a card almost ten years. 8 Gig Now! Much more likely to lose a card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4season Posted October 18, 2007 Share #5 Posted October 18, 2007 8 gigabytes sounds all very fine, but you still have to stop and change batteries after every 2 gigabytes worth of photos or so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to a PPofA or wedding photog web site for stories of cards that die, are destroyed by static electricity, etc. Storing all your eggs in one SD card basket is maybe asking for trouble. Glad you have had no problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilliamsphotography Posted October 19, 2007 Share #7 Posted October 19, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) A 512 meg card would be the logical extention of "smaller is safer" wouldn't it? If you believe smaller is safer, then the smallest should be what you use. If not, and there is a reason for not using it, the reason also supports any larger card than what you say is correct.

robertwright Posted October 19, 2007 Share #8 Posted October 19, 2007 well you pick your poison, but at least smaller cards (I won't say how small now since that is a logical fallacy:)) force you to distribute a shoot over several cards. The odds of multiple cards failing is much higher than just one. I have also adopted shooting jpegs and dng's at all times so that if a card becomes corrupted I have two files to recover for each image. I am not sure if it will help, the last time I had a failure it occurred over a series of pictures, nothing between a certain number of frames was usable. Still, double the number of pictures might help. I am comfortable with 2gb and 4gb cards, altho I have no 4gb sd cards, only cf cards. And in practice 154 frames on a 2gb card is the whole job so I am not helping myself. What would really be good would be 2 card slots in the camera and writing images to both simultaneously.
