The main thing to beware of is that, for some cameras, if you modify an image and put it back on the card, the camera may not recognize it. This is especially true of JFIF (jpeg usually) files. Programs like Photoshop add and take away headers. For some cameras, if the header they look for is not there, they don't see the image. But the cards are the only way I can use my camera. Not really a problem, but I was looking forward to using gphoto (the program - NOT the library - big distinction) with the camera.
