For me, photo storage had become so incredibly complex that I ditched the entire effort and piece-mealed my own.
Here's my workflow:
1) Take photo from my iPhone
2) CameraSync.app automatically uploads the pictures & videos to Dropbox when I get home (Geofencing & wait for wifi)
3) Computer Automation automatically sorts photos into Dropbox/Photos/YYYY/MM folders (Hazel, DropIt, etc). Videos go into external folder (Outside of dropbox)
4) Manual verification of photo upload & delete from camera roll (unfortunately, Apple doesn't allow automatic deletion of photos)
No huge photostream (only a few small shared photostreams). Not tied to a single platform (Mac/PC/iOS/Android/WinPhone/etc). No slow apps (iPhoto). No databases to corrupt, just folders of pictures. Easy access through the Dropbox app. Easy backup & restoration (Dropbox + CrashPlan).
This system can easily expand to accommodate other cameras too.
