Re: *ist-D image transfer speeds

[Leonard Paris]

There's something to be said for not putting all your eggs (images) in one 
basket.  Why not buy two more 1GB CF cards?  Just yesterday all you could 
shoot on a roll of film was 36 pictures.  Changing CF cards every 70 (or 
even every 35) shots is not that time consuming or tiring.  If you ever have 
a CF card fail, you'll be happy you don't have the whole day's worth of 
images on it.

have you compared battery life versus CompactFlash cards? i see that the 
4GB
MicroDrive card draws 310mA when writing while most CF cards are in the 
65mA
range. i'm right now using a 1GB CF card and it holds only 70 RAW images.
the alternative is to spend more and get a 2GB CF card instead.
