No, it's nothing to do with saving memory. I just don't find viewing photos on a phone to be a very satisfying experience. Therefore I want them onto my PC as soon as possible. The only ones I leave on the phone are those I might want to show someone whilst out and about.
I don't use iCloud or anything similar - I want to be solely responsible for looking after my photos.
I've been taking photos since 1969 and learnt to be economical with film. The way you can easily take multiple photos with digital cameras is foreign to me. I can make my mind up quickly where photography is concerned and the originals, which arise in the situation I describe, are just clutter. I've already got about 10,000 digital photos on my hard disk, plus scanned slides and negatives from the film era, so cataloguing is already difficult.
