Bmiller: Using a card reader saves battery on your camera as well.

This is a good point and I think I shall look into how much a separate CF->USB reader costs.



It's not expensive at all (Thinkgeek has one for ~$30). And allows for the very nice ability to transfer images while someone else is still shooting.

My Wife works at a public library, where we have a teen night once a month, with bands, coffee, etc... So, we've gotten in the habit of having her go around taking pictures during the night, and dropping off the CF to me to upload onto the web via my 802.11 connection on the laptop.

Zero downtime, thanks to dual cards.

Plus, that connector on the side of the camera just doesn't look real durable to me.....
