I'm reasonably new to digital; about 2 years total. I have done and still do silver work but I'm trying to get my head around some of the differences. The one bothering me today is memory cards.
I have 2 16gb cards which provide around 1000 exposures. For one used to 10 shots to the roll or 2 sheets to the holder this is an astronomical number. I download my shots to my computer as soon as possible and back them up as well. Coming from many decades of film, though, I'm reluctant to erase the cards and reuse them. It feels like burning negatives.
Given that a 32gb card costs around $10 I was considering physically archiving the chips and buying new when one gets filled up. Am I showing my prehistoric bones here or is this something other paranoids do?
Thanks in advance for any replies,
JR
