Planes cabins are pressurized to max equivalent altitudes in the 5- 7 thousand feet zone so neither of the above cases come near to Mark's advice where problems could be expected at 10 grand plus. I have used my 1Gb Microdrive at about 9 grand with no problems. If, like Mark you regularly shoot in Alpine Ski resorts at 3000M+ solid state devices, despite their higher cost, would seem to be advisable. As I occasionally take my microdrive with me whilst hang gliding (remember that Mark?!) to quite high altitudes I'll be investing in a flash card for my "flying" camera as soon as I can save up for one.
