In raw format 1GB would hold some 170 pictures, about the equivalent of five rolls of film; I'd need more than one for a week-long trip, even if some can be discarded on the spot. > The batteries would have lasted > longer if I had used flash memory > instead of a microdrive. And the 10D should use less power than the D60... perhaps batteries would not be a big problem any more. If only they were available here at even close to that US$1500 they're being advertized for in the US... -- Tapani Tarvainen * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
