Hmmm, well, I shall be more careful next time. That's this whole problem on the net even with the smileys. Somehow I am certain that if you and I were talking in person, you would most probably see that I meant no such thing. >> ...

Fair enough, if that's what you mean. Yes, that's exactly what I mean. I'd rather spend money on something else related to photography such as a lens or a print of my photos or a photography book. > Photography is my work, so I rank these tools as somewhat higher > priority and look carefully at what nets me the best advantages. > Right now, I see little need to reinvest in more/newer/larger > capacity cards and accessory storage devices because my need for them > is small and there's a modest but non-trivial cost associated.

People who shoot sports I believe would always want to have the biggest cards (by GB count) and the fastest too. I seem to be able to live with a single 1 GB Ultra III card though I am looking now to buy another, either 1 GB or 2 GB in size depending on the price and availability and that unpleasant encounter with fake cards I had.
