Yup, I hear you all! Thanks guys, I didn't realise the CF card thingy - I have about 6gbs of CF cards now, so I don't think I'll be changing to SD any time soon. Looks like another *istD it is then!
btw, you all seem so surprised to hear from me! its so funny cause although I haven't posted of late, I have been reading right along with you all, so to me, it doesn't seem as if I have been "gone" at all! lol. Ok, gotta get my crap together, got a gig on in two hours... tan. :) Tanya Mayer Photography Brisbane, Qld, Australia www.tanyamayer.com Ph +61 (07) 3315 4549 Mobile +61 0437831247 -----Original Message----- From: Peter J.

In addition it uses CF cards as opposed to SD cards, which will complicate your life with another media. Part of a backup is being able to use the same recoding media.
