A major plus is you can cull photos as you go.(you can do this in-camera, but laptop screen would be alot better) I would HATE to go thruogh 4,000 pictures when I got back from a trip. Tim

Im still shooting JPEG not converted to RAW as yet... How many GB of storage will I need for this trip. Last holiday for 3 week I took over 2000 pictures including my snorkelling pictures. Currently I have 2x 8GB and 1 X GB media cards, how many more should I get? 4k frames if you are shooting jpeg. http://instagram.com/edraderphotography/

True better for housekeeping along the way, and no editing 4000 pics on return, deffinatly a must get, maybe even on travels as it will be cheaper than dear GB... anshu wrote in post #5644524 I think the main difference here is raw vs jpeg, but as you say your a jpeg shooter so 4000*4mb=16000mb/1000=16gb. Thats a measly 16gb, so you should be fine with your current setup. If I were you I would at least grab another 4gb just in case. Maybe think about shooting in RAW, its a world of difference! Yeah, still a JPEG shooter, I believe in one step at a time fully get used to my camera before taking the next step into the RAW world, I've read its loads better and I will get there... give me time

I just love the quality difference I get when shooting raw vs jpeg so once I made the switch I havent looked back.... I'm a raw shooter, but shoot no where that volume. Actually, since I have switched to raw only, my volume has decreased. A day of shooting might yield 100 pics. Of those I may process about 10 to 20 and the remaining 80 just stay raw. Not sure why, but call me JJ.
