Hi all
When I used a Canon 7d mark ii I used both card slots to give me a back up copy of my photos. I have now swapped to a Sony RX10 iv. A great camera but frustratingly it only has one card slot.
Before that I used a netbook to backup to usb pendrive. Unfortunately my netbook - never powerful - seems to have gone even more arthritic it its old age and basically can't cope. I have no other reason to have one so I am very reluctant to buy another. I have looked into other ways to back up, without buying an expensive specialised device, without much luck. I should be able to use my phone but I'm not having much luck. The Sony has bluetooth but I can only transfer photos to the internal drive of the phone - totally useless - not the micro sd card. In theory my Motorola G4 can connect to a card using a OTG lead. In practise, trying two different leads, although it is recognise ES explorer says it can't read the file.
Anyone got any great suggestions to back up photos relatively cheaply?
