Great article...lots of comments here about how you shouldn't keep that much data. I agree with that for hobbyists, but this is pretty relevant for professionals where the option to cull doesn't extend that far and there are business reasons for retaining terabytes of photos for an extended period. Additionally, next-gen cameras with 40-50MP RAWs are right around the corner.
I use a similar combination of home-built network storage (no RAID - just manual multiple backups) and glacier for offsite redundancy. Dealing with images as a business, I typically only work on a couple shoots at a time so syncing across devices is not a big concern, but long-term archiving and redundancy is.
I don't know, whenever I finish a shoot the first thing I do is go home and delete as many of the photos as I can. The ratio of "great photos"/"photos" is so ridiculously small (like < 1%) that you're realistically never going to use most of the photos you shoot anywhere.
I wish Sony would have a better native lens selection and then I'd probably be all over that.
I'm super impressed with the Fuji lineup lately (and size) - i.e. XT-1 (clarification: I own one), though at APS-C I'd still like a greater megapixel count. Faster lenses and portability do seem to be sufficiently make up for the sensor size in my book though; but if Sony was putting out some drool-worthy fast primes it would be tempting.
These are not even counting scanning negatives (can be massive) or digital backs for medium format cameras. Hasseblad had a 60+MP back 10 years ago just because the sensor was larger.
in all honesty, correct me if I'm wrong, Canon doesn't produce state-of-the-art sensors, does it. in fact, at least according to very same dxomark, Sony does... and since Sony glasses suck/there are too few & good ones are overpriced, to me it seemed logical to go Nikon way (which use Sony sensors, namely D750 in my case).
Now Canon with proper sensors, that would be a killer combination, wouldn't it
