Take a laptop along and download when returning to your abode. With the bigger cards, you can go 2 or 3 days before downloading. And the laptop is good for editing, review of the day. Lightroom is free (loading on Desktop + Laptop is SOP). And you've got your first backup copy set, another on the desktop later. Regards, Bob S.
