Some cards are faster than others. This has some meaning to the Ds. I use a D and haven't noticed an appreciable difference between my fast card and slow one, but the Ds can to a point, (I don't remember how fast however). Yes you can change cards in the field, just be careful, I got to play with a DL the other day and was able to rocket the card across the room, (quite a change from the D and quite embarrassing as well).

Hey Folks,

I've ordered an *ist-DS from Buydig, and will see if my experiences are
easier than Shel's.

It turns out that I really need to hit the ground running with this digital
camera (I've got a very limited time to get a bunch of images together for a
book I'm working on), so I apologize for this newbie-ola question...but this
listserve is where I turn to when I have pentaxian questions...

Are all SD cards more or less equal, given storage volume? (I see B&H has
some 1Gig Sandisks from $88, which looks ok.) I have downloaded the pdf
manual on the DS, and estimate 1Gig would hold about 86 RAW images. If this
disk fills up in the field, can I slip in a new one, just like changing
film?

Thanks all!
