I have pretty much always used 32g cards. Big enough.
I use a full frame Canon R6 so the files are pretty big.
It brings me in around 1,000 frames.
Generally on a 2 week travel vacation I will pretty much fill a card and sometimes I'll use 2 camera so 32g each.

I did manage to fill 4 cards on a recent to Iceland... never before more than 2.
After a trip I'll generally save the cards and file them.
Locally I'll erase and reuse the cards.

I see but can't really grasp using a giant card... 256g, more?
Why?

Anyway,
What does everybody think on this?

Have you looked for any photography sites that cater to younger people?

Since they are not looking for you, you need to look outside of UHH for younger people. If you do make a connection and introduce them to UHH, you will be able to show them what they have to look forward to. Maybe in 30 or 40 years they will decide that UHH is where they want to be.

My wife and I recently returned from a two week trip to Scotland. We stayed with life long friends we made 50 years ago when I was stationed at a Naval Security Group Activity near the small town of Edzell. During our last trip, we traveled to the west of Scotland but this time we remained in the eastern part of the country where our friends live in the town of Letham, very near Forfar. I shot this image with a D7200 and 18-300mm lens as we drove through the hills near the town of Peebles in the Borders region south of Edinburgh. PP was limited to eliminating some of the shadowing of the heather in the hills. As you can see the weather was beautiful.

Rotorhead, you have some good responses here regarding LRC. It is really, really is worth the upgrade. Let's focus on "organizing" as you mentioned. Regardless of the software you select, without an organization plan you will not improve over your current situation. I use a modified Kelby system that supports 6 super folders with numerous subfolders for my 60,000 images. I like the visual aspect of it as well as the technical capabilities. Example - one super folder is Family and under Family is Christmas followed by Christmas 2019 (C:\My Lightroom Images\Family\Christmas\Christmas 2019). Now using LRC, I can ask for images with Uncle Bill and not Aunt May (she has been blackballed by the family) and it will instantly produce from the Christmas folders if so directed.

LRC organization is folders, collections, key words, "pick", color code, numerical code, metadata and who knows what else. Do you want images from a certain lens?

If you are interested, I will be teaching two Zoom refresher classes in late July on LRC organization. The refresher class is a prelim to the in-class image processing in the Develop Module for the month of August. I can give you free access to Zoom classes.
