Confused as to best workflow.
Having bought the 7DMkii with CF and SD cards I am looking for advice as to the best workflow and economical backup facility for birding trip to Costa Rica.
I normally take raw images and want to return with raw images to process on my return. I am thinking of using the CF cards for this but should I copy the raw image to the SD (as backup) or copy as a JPEG to the SD ?
I am also taking an Android tablet which will view both raw and jpeg images but when it comes to saving these it converts the raw CR2 file to a TIFF file, so should I just use the SD card as backup of the CR2 file and copy again via the tablet on to a USB stick as TIFF files ?
I originally thought to get a portable storage unit but these need a PC to copy from which I'm not taking.
I'm trying to keep gadgets and weight to a minimum so any advice would be appreciated.
