I can't figure why they persist either, probably similar reasons that Sony persist with that hideous memory stick. I have seen many xD cards rendered inoperable (in camera only) though transfer corruptions/accidental formats, it's a very poor system. SD would be far preferable as a second card choice. What I find interesting though is that Olympus still consider it pertinent to include CF on a current body (unlike Pentax). Maybe they want it to appeal to professionals as a second more portable system? -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://picasaweb.google.com/distudio/PESO http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
