My answer to the CF storage problem:
1. Invest in a used semi-powerful laptop($600 eBay).
2. Get an extra battery($? eBay) for it.
3. Buy an External 2.5" USB/Firewire storage box(~$50).
4. Buy a 40GB 2.5"HD($82*)for the storage box.
if 3GB holds 212 RAW, then 30GB(don't fill the HD!) holds 2120 RAW
4b. OR a 60GB($135*)
if 30GB holds 2120 RAW, then 50GB holds 3533 RAW!
Total cost (40GB HD) for mobile ist support roughly : $800US
*Prices from www.pricewatch.com
Note: of course if you could afford an ist, then the extras to support the
DSLR would not be a problem. ;-)
Comments on my solution anyone?
