I shoot a ton of sports with a D2H, and at many events such as swimming, hockey or gymnastics, I'll shoot between 500-700 frames, and since they are for school yearbooks, I shoot jpeg basic files. The photos will be quite small when publ;ished, so file size isn't of great inportance to me. Organizing those files is, however, really important.

I bought an Apacer CD burner for about $250 which takes the compact flash cards and committs them right to the disk without having to use a computer. This allows me to never have to post the vast files of my computer's hard drive, and I'm able to open the disks on my computer with a program called iview, available on line (see google). Its a smaller version of the program the guys at the Providence Journal and other major paper use because it is fast and it doesn't use up much RAM. All of the disks I burn are given to the yearbook adviser, but only after I've copied the shots I really like.
