Class 4 4G SDHC can now be got for about the same price as high speed 2Gs here in the UK (7dayshop). > That's the culprit.

That way the DNGs as an unsupported file type won't show by default on the P2000 but also have the JPGs which are handy for review. I note the large JPG size is too big to auto-rotate as well as being painfully slow to display. The Epson is showing it age already. Steve No virus found in this outgoing message.
