I use cards from Ritek and Hitachi and I haven't had any problems what so ever. > In the absence of a card reader for the moment, how long takes > downloading a complete 1GB card from the camera to a computer with > USB 1? Too, long, buy a cheap card reader or be prepared to find yourself something to do for 25+ minutes, it will also consume additional time in the extra battery maintenance. > Anything else I should know for the moment? Or is there a page or a > post that tells all that a D user has to know (green button, etc.)? I don't know of a specific page, the archives are full of interesting tidbits though :-) Have fun.
