Almost exactly what I do. Copy to PC, copy to external hard drive from PC, then format in camera. The only time I delete in camera is if I'm shooting small birds ( for example ), and movement of any kind would scare the birds away, and I see that I might need card space. There will always be a few shots that I was certain about missing.Henry Peach wrote: I don't delete off the card very often. I copy to my computer (via card reader), and keep the cards separate from the rest until I'm sure the pics are backed up. When I put the card in the camera I check to make sure that I recognize that the pics have been downloaded, and then format. Regular formatting is good mem card maintenance. Formatting identifies and isolates any parts of the mem card that aren't up to snuff.

But at this point I'd rather look like an amateur and chimp, then not check my screen and get home to find all my shots suck!
I'm just not confident enough yet to not look at my screen after every couple of shots.
