I guess so When using a stiff card the card pops out of the slot lower than the position of the release button at rest, this means it protrudes no more than 5mm. Given the fact that the distance between the rear of the card and the slot recess is no more than 5mm deep (in the recess provided by the cut-out into the battery container) you'd need pretty slim fingers to be able to pick it out. I've had to fit unsightly pull tabs to my cards so that I can remove them. On my old Oly E10 I simply flipped the card door open (the strap was still potentially in the way but the type of attachment made it much easier to move out of the way) pushed the button and casually gripped the edges of the protruding and un-obscured card. Simple really, check some review site a see what I mean.
