OK....where could a person go for a long trip where they could not empty
their card...but where they can recharge batteries and eat and all that
other stuff.

A long camping trip...might be....you can charge with solar panels.

But, mostly....you can get a CD burned anywhere.

I see I can get a 1 Gb compactflash card for 20 or 30 bucks more than
a 512 Mb card.... seems a no brainer to me, I'd like to get a coupla 1
G's rather than 4 512's, (I'm going on a long trip and will not have
any downloading capability).
Is there any reason I should avoid such a big capacity card?
Is it the same technology in both?
Any body have any failures on gigabyte cards?
I'm going to stick with established namebrands, either sandisk or
lexar, and my camera can handle the size.
thanks ahead of time for any input,
Rick
