Congratulations - you'll enjoy your new gadget! As far as numbering, I don't change the file number, but I do add to it. I started getting confused, well, more confused, about the time I had three different IMPG-2132 files and decided it was time for a new strategy. On import, files are renamed with a yyyymmdd prefix. I also use the camera's capability to change the impg to something like _K5_. The final file name then is yyyymmdd_K5_xxxx, and there is no chance of confusion with an image taken on the same day with a different camera, or with an image with the same camera 10000 shots ago.
