Just curious Tom, but when you say ... "about 5 seconds for the camera
to power up and be ready" ..., is that only true for a start from Off,
or does it also apply to a "restart" from sleep mode?

I use microdrives regularly in the *ist D. I've had the 4G card for
several months and filled it up several times. It'll hold 292 raw
images or 991 .jpgs at highest quality. I also regularly use a 1 G
microdrive that I've had for several years.
In practice, for my kind of shooting, I don't notice any significant
difference between a regular compact flash and a microdrive (or any
difference at all for that matter). The only difference I have
noticed is that it takes about 5 seconds for the camera to power up
and be ready for the first shot, instead of instantaneously.
I've had the 1G microdrive for three and a half years and have not
experienced a failure or problem, and I do not give it any special
care.

Dear All,
Has anyone had any experience in using these CF cards. Any advice
would be appreciated.
