Been there, done that. In 2004, I had to send an ist-D to Colorado for repair due to bent CF pins. The mistake cost me $134.70 in repairs (plus shipping). With that in mind, i was ecstatic to switch to SD cards with the K10-D. Also as an aside, FWIW, numerous retailers have Sandisk cards essentially on sale. 4GB extreme III @ 49.99, minus rebate equates to about $15 a card. I've picked up 4 already. Just thought I'd share the info. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
