Hi guys,
Thanks for taking the time to respond and for your comprehensive and extremely useful advice. I think I'll stick with the camera and software equipment that I have (until my skill level using both improves!) and invest in an additional hard drive to ensure the images I have are safe. Another quick question regarding additional drives - do you guys use them as an alternative storage space to keep your computer free and running fast or do you use them as a genuine backup and keep the images in two places?
Thanks again all.
Paul
