Memory cards

[mattyg]

Hiya guys

Turns out I'm going on a little city break..

So I've dragged out my old D7000 for the Mrs.

I need to buy some new/more memory cards.

I have a D810 so would me nice if I can work it to be able to use most in both.

My thinking is a Big 128Gb or larger CF card in the D810 for backup. Then using smaller 32Gb fast SD cards as the Primary. Kinda like SSD for use and a HDD for backup.

That way I can use the SD cards in the D7000 should I need it.

Any thoughts either way

The problem is then your backup is then also somewhat risky. Safest is multiple 16 or 32Gb cards, CF matching SD. When you fill up you swap out both. But it depends how risk averse you want to be. , having both the SD and bug CF card fail would be rare


Also, I tend to shoot 12bit RAW unless i am shooting at base ISO on a tripod, otherwise the differences to 14bit are basically non-existent.

But that costs more.......And Im feeling guilty about pressing go on a gitzo traveller.......And I've not even bought it yet.

I've already got a 120Mb/s 64Gb so it may be cheaper to just get "matching" 64Gb cards and be done.
