Using an E3 set for raw + large, superfine JPEGs you should be able to get about 450 images on an 8GB CF card. Brand name 8GB CF cards can be had (in the US at least) for USD 12-14. Since few cameras use CF cards anymore there are also many used ones for sale.

This sounds like my approach, shoot high quality JPG + raw (ORF), if the JPG
is ok just use that, otherwise process from the ORF.  Storage is relatively
inexpensive compared with other costs related to acquiring an image (e.g.
cost of fuel to get to a particular location, 1Tb ~ 1 tank of fuel).

JPEGs are fine, Brian.  Don't listen to the mockers - if all you want to do
is produce images which you will only slightly tweak.

However, just look at the histogram of a JPEG before you do some serious
adjusting (Auto Levels is a good example) and then check it after just one
process.  You will see quite a bit of the graph missing.  Likewise, try
saving and opening a JPEG a few times and a similar process will become
apparent, although less quickly.

I use JPEGs all the time, but with a RAW file for tweaking in case I want
to.  Most of the time my Fujis produce pretty fine images with little
fiddling.  The difference is an extra 15-20Mb per shot, and I weed my
collection quite frequently to slow the buildup of storage space used.

RAW files. I'm not convinced. I've never seen a well-exposed jpeg from
my Oly cameras that was as bad as Tina claims.
My processed jpgs
are fine. I like them a lot. I'm well aware that jpgs are lossy files,
so I minimise the editing to them that I do, and I doubt if anybody
can than tell by looking at them that the image quality shows they are
spoiled / ruined by the lossy process operating.
Yes, I have had
difficulty with badly exposed files but they are not the norm.
