The best thing I have done is use my TV. Specifically the Roku Photo App. Set it as a screen saver and after a couple minutes of no activity I see a stream of my photos. Really love it as I had for years taken pics and never looked at them. You can also send the stream to others with a Roku (we jsut have a smart tv with roku as the OS). SO great to also share those pics with my Mom so she can see the grandkids.

Are you a pro? If not, why do you take 1000 pics a session? If you are, 2k for the main tool you use as a pro is not an immense cost.
