I believe Type 2 are thicker - don't know if there is any power requirement difference. The advantage of microdrives for me was one of cost. When shooting weddings in raw, I don't have much time to change cards, so was looking for higher capacity. The *istD is relatively slow at writing out

What's the deal with Type 1 and Type 2 CF cards? My recollection is that one is somewhat larger in some dimension than the other. If that's the case, is there any problem or caution using one or the other in the istD? Bruce, do you find an advantage using a micro drive over a regular CF card?

Shel, Microdrive are typically of lower cost for the same capacity as a normal flash based CF card. They are in fact hard disk drives and as such are more prone to problems (in theory at least). Also, my Hitachi 4GB one (Seagate ones are supposed to be much faster) are a bit slow... when checking
