Mostly equine as at first, i would not use the dslr for personal use in case i broke it and could not do the shows. As i aquired more cameras i thought it best to keep camera directories. Now, with six cameras, i think its a bit over kill to have a Nikon directory then one for D200, D1H etc and the same with Pentax directory then istD and K10D.
Its starting to get confusing as far as back ups, and have i done this one etc. I keep a paper record of whats done, but i just think its a bit over kill to do this. Probably just start a main directory for dslr photos with may be an id letter for camera used. Am i the only one keeping records like this. I'm assuming so.:-) Dave ============== I'm only shooting with two DSLRs, Pentax and Canon. Shooting RAW the file extensions are different, thus making it easy to pick out which is from which camera. Also using Lightroom, I can find which pictures came from which camera using the Metadata part of the Navigator. So I don't worry about making different top directories. I use Lightroom mainly for organizing, not "Developing", but for that it has helped tremendously.
