If I were still shooting motorsports I'd definitely go for some big SD cards. As it is I use 4 Gig cards and carry a bunch of them when I travel. I very rarely fill a card in a day (I'm not a machine gunner). At the end of each day I copy the files from the card to a computer (I usually travel with a tiny Dell Mini 10v netbook) and put the card aside not to be used until the next trip. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- 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.
