I use microdrives regularly in the *ist D. I've had the 4G card for several months and filled it up several times. It'll hold 292 raw images or 991 .jpgs at highest quality. I also regularly use a 1 G microdrive that I've had for several years.

In practice, for my kind of shooting, I don't notice any significant difference between a regular compact flash and a microdrive (or any difference at all for that matter). The only difference I have noticed is that it takes about 5 seconds for the camera to power up and be ready for the first shot, instead of instantaneously.

I've had the 1G microdrive for three and a half years and have not experienced a failure or problem, and I do not give it any special care.

Dear All,

Has anyone had any experience in using these CF cards. Any advice would be appreciated.
