IIRC, The microdrive is not compatible with e.g. the Olympus E-10 due to the heat generated. I figure heat can be an issue for CCDs and digital cameras. I previously used the microdrive/D30 combo in 90 degree weather with the black camera body exposed to the sun's radiation without troubles. Two 1500 mAh batteries hold enough power for photographing >1 gb microdrives worth of data (>330 RAW images). Last Wednesday I must have done approx. 400 frames on the set of two batteries, then I had to switch to my spare battery, which lasted until the end of the session. I keep the review deactivated, and only review if neccessary. The LCD eats battery.
