Why do you now use Nikon bodies instead Canon bodies ? Hi Neil,

I have been learning a lot of things from your site.

Why do you now use Nikon bodies instead Canon bodies ?

George, I have 8 Gig cards, because that is what I progressed up to over the years.
Right now, pairs of 16 Gig cards would be great, but I have enough 8 Gig cards that I don’t immediately need to go out and get 16 Gig cards.

Your book is unbelievable too. Thank you for sharing the information and learn us all!!! Thank you for all the awesome content you provide!!! I have very brief question.

Lydia .. I now use Nikon D3 bodies which have 2 CF card slots each. It’s my smallest camera .. so I don’t have a camera without dual card slots on a professional shoot. That dual slot brings some peace of mind.

Each camera also has an 8Gb SanDisk SD card in them. (I use the SD cards to record medium JPGs on, as a safeguard against any of the CF cards failing." Neil, I gather that your Canon cameras have extra slots for the back-up SD cards - What do you do for back-ups when you use your Nikon D200, for instance? “Each wallet contains four 8Gb SanDisk CF cards, and four 4Gb SanDisk CF cards.
