a slight diversion, but i think it's worth mentioning that some computers have card readers built-in, which may seem a small convenience, but if you use it enough it can be a major selling point; i certainly use the SD slot in my computer a lot -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net ht

Also, I kind of assume they have limitations depending on where you point your camera. Further to that I've seen those caps sold from as low as € 1.99 (eBay) to as high
