One other positive aspect that I haven't seen mentioned is that there is
never any need to finish out a roll or throw part of a roll away. You take
4 shots, if that is all you need, you can immediately get them. You no
longer worry or care about the length of the roll. The size card I use in
mine captures about 90-100 images. Then I carry two spare cards that hold
about 25 each. Even if there are only a few on the big card, just download
and clear. No waste. I find it rather nice.
