Another question, if I may. Has anyone any idea how many times you can insert and remove a card before the contacts (on it, and more importantly, on the the camera) become damaged?
Advice given to me (through the Photographic Branch of the RAF) was to leave the card in the camera and use the leads to download, this particularly applies to CF (Compact Flash) cards as they have "pins" - most "Pro spec Digi SLR's" will use CF cards as they have the greater capacity on them (4Gb just being released in the States @ $499 a pop!)

CF cards are also the most economical (£ per Mb) to buy!

I think the others have just "contacts" on them (SM - Smart Media has them at least)
