>>2906824I broke the USB port on my 5D2 after a few years of doing it that way. USB is not designed for constant insertion/removal, while your memory card is, I have no idea where you got the idea that it's safer... especially if the camera uses SD cards, god help you if you managed to somehow break the connection on that before anything else, like the card itself.
>>2906847>First of all, you're engaging in one of the most expensive hobbies out thereYeah, nah. Cameras last a long time, and lenses last even longer, which also hold their price fairly well. The only consumable is when you're printing. I can list a ton of hobbies where not only the entry price is higher, but also siphons a ton of cash just for upkeep, additionally many hobbies don't produce anything of permanence, they're purely for recreation and enjoyment.
