Re: ist D stuff

In my experience the PCMICA card slot reads cards about as quickly as 
USB1.1.  Just my experience.

I have a PCMICA card reader, the cord for the *istD, a USB card reader 
(mine is a USB1.1 computer), and a firewire card reader.  I use the 
firewire card reader at home, and the remaining three are usually 
traveling with me when I use the *ist D.

Ryan,
I bought an aftermarket A/C adapter but have found I don't use it.  I
use a USB2 card reader that transfers a 1gig card in about 8 minutes, 
as
opposed to the 35 minutes that USB1 takes.  If you have a USB2 port
spend the $20 or less that a USB2 reader will cost.

Just checking with you ist D'ers- I noticed the a/c adapter is sold
separately. Did any of you not end up purchasing the a/c adapter at 
all,
choosing to transfer images solely using CF card readers/ PC card
adapters etc? Any grumbles with that routine?

Also, I was just wondering if the ist D charges with the a/c adapter
plugged in (like laptops do..), or do you usually charge your 
batteries
externally?

Thanks,
Ryan
