Just for that running out of room reason. I use a 1 gig CF card in my work camera, and I keep a 1/4 gig memory stick in the camera in case I forget to reload the CF card when I get out of the car to photograph a building. It lives in the camera full time, and when needed it is a simple flip of a switch to use it.Ned Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18030270647736233878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-5202364241073467842008-05-24T21:42:00.000-04:002008-05-24T21:42:00.000-04:00Sean, We try not to get General Delivery in a majo...Sean, We try not to get General Delivery in a major city, but to preclude the the hunt like you are going through(as we have too) we use this site for all our GD addresses http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/welcome.jsp<BR/>and put in General Delivery as the street address.

And while I do not really worry about my safety in such a situation, a discharge through the dish would knock out not only the dish itself, but probably every piece of electronics on board.<BR/><BR/>@marilyn -- At Wal-Mart, natch. They're in the tool department, available in clear with lime green accents like mine, clear with vivid blue accents, or opaque safety yellow with black accents. They're pretty cheesy, but fine for what we needed (and better than what we had). The also have a smaller model, opaque red with black accents, for about three dollars less.<BR/><BR/>@stephen -- Since we don't use a camera bag at all (the camera is either out on the dashboard on it's tiny little tripod, or in my pocket or Louise's purse), I suspect the extra memory card will just get lost or damaged. The extra battery, on the other hand, has a perfect place to live: in the little charger do-hickey.<BR/><BR/>Turns out, BTW, that I have a 512MB card in the Garmin, so I'll put this 1GB card in there and get rid of the 512.<BR/><BR/>-SeanSeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-89680074802307819532008-05-24T18:32:00.000-04:002008-05-24T18:32:00.000-04:00Why not save the card as an overflow/backup?

My expirience has been that no matter how large the card, you'll find it full just when "the best picture ever" presents itself.<BR/>The card is so small and thin it can reside in the camera bag without being noticed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-25945850471889110042008-05-24T18:16:00.000-04:002008-05-24T18:16:00.000-04:00Where did you get that plastic tool box for $5.80?...Where did you get that plastic tool box for $5.80?

Hope the wind wasn't that bad where you are.<BR/><BR/>Glad we're here in Pagosa, despite the rain and snow this weekend. I'll take these things over tornadoes any day!<BR/><BR/>Stay safe.LiveWorkDreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15003212659810881210noreply@blogger.com
