On vacation to scenic spots, it's not been unusual for me to take
150-200 shots in a day. Last month, I hit a high point*, taking 349
images on one day - I had to switch to a second 4GB card during the day.
Most of them were during a lengthy and very enjoyable wander on a beach.
there were just so many wonderful subjects that caught my attention. It
may sound weird, but I think seeing everything, from landscape to tiny
detail, through the eye of an image maker helped me "see" and enjoy the
area more than I would have simply wandering without camera.
Differently, at least, and I had a great day.
Fortunately, Carol is disposed to wander and enjoy places a slow
length,so we aren't at odds about time. She also likes having a smart
camera called Moose. She can just tell it what strikes her fancy and it
takes care of capturing the image. :-)
Overall on that three night trip, from first image to last was just over
75 hours, in which I took 784 shots. Was that overkill? I don't know. I
do know that I throughly enjoyed myself and am very pleased with most of
the images.

When I get to the computer, I stick the card(s) into the reader, click
on the camera software, and ask it to download them. It creates
directories on the fly as needed and only downloads images not already
downloaded.

All the more reason to prefer a fast card and reader. ;-)
