I've been looking at various backup methods and storage ideas. So far I've just been keeping the photos on memory cards, but there is a problem with that.<br /><br />The D90 can make videos, but if I make a video, I run out of space and cards in a hurry.<br /><br />I'll look into your review and check out the Hyperdrive.

I saw a few tourists loose their cameras and bags. I felt more comfortable on barriers taking photos of the peleoton now that I put a anti-theft camera strap with slashproof wire built-in on my Nikon.
