Also looking for 32gb.

I'm looking to move away from platter HD storage for my work in the parks/forests and instead going to multiple 16gb and 32gb cards. Sometimes I take up to 100 gig of images on these trips. Getting rid of cords and things with batteries saves time, hassle and room. 6D | 70D | 24-105 L IS | 17-40 L | 300 F4 L IS | 50 1.8 II | 1.4x II | LR5 | HV30 | bug spray | wilderness

thaking Goldmember 1,358 posts Joined Jun 2008 Location: Lex-vegas More info | Jan 22, 2011 14:42 | #15 the reason i have avoided such large cards - if i have so many photos on one card, that's just one point of failure...card fails, i lose all photos...however, if i have my photos spread over 4 8GB cards rather than 1 32GB card, if one fails, i still have 24GB that didn't fail...but to each his own..
