2Gig CompactFlash or 2Gig Microdrive

True. But how many verifiable cases can you find of this? Or is it just
perhaps our normal paranoia of what *might* go wrong?

I just got back from a week in Yellowstone. One body, 6 lenses, one 4gb
microdrive. Every night I copied the day's efforts to a laptop, and left
them on the microdrive as well for backup. I suppose I could have used the
256mb card in my wife's S230 in an emergency, but none arose.

How about having to change cards every 40-50 pictures? What a drag. I've
had
cards from 15mb up to a 4gb microdrive, and I've NEVER lost a picture
due
to
a failed card. Not in 7 years. Maybe I"m just lucky?

Maybe.

However, if you miss a shot due to the failure of your one and only card,
might that not be a bigger drag? ;-)

Different strokes, I guess.

That's what I like about my S7000. It can accommodate both a xD card and a
CF card at the same time. If, for some reason, either fails, I can switch
over to the other storage card in the camera's setup.

My 1GB drive worked great for three years, then I dropped it 8" onto a
soft carpet and it died.

My CF cards are still fine, even after similar test drops (I was really
ticked off about the drive).
