I don’t care if the author of the OP’s article or anybody else feels they need two card slots and on site backup and a wireless transfer and a digital media manager etc etc, what really pisses me off is somebody telling me I am irresponsible, not professional, etc etc if I choose a different methodology.
it is irresponsible to suggest people with different work practices, even when they have an equally unblemished record of delivering professional results, are irresponsible for not doing things the way you think they should be done.
Agreed!
i have always claimed that a pro uses the best tool for the job, but I have never claimed that the most expensive tool is the best tool. In the real world we have budget constraints, so that means the best AFFORDABLE tool for the job, and sometimes that means a waterproof P/S camera, and sometimes even a phone!
Dual card slots? Yes, I love them and if I have them on a camera, then I will use them.... but I have a lot more cameras with one slot than 2. My most used camera at work is an Oly because small and light is by far the biggest (smallest?) requirement.
yes, I have had a card die and lost a days shooting, but for me and my workflow it just meant redoing the shots on the next site visit. A bit annoying, but nothing like trying to explain to the bride why there are no wedding pictures! That’s the point here..... just because one person’s workflow works for them does not mean that a different person can’t have a different workflow.
