any 4/3 comex deals?

Shouldn't have any problems using a 32GB CF... there is no format change unlike SD going to SDHC... so it should work... even my old E-1 is using 8GB CF cards. But you should do some research if you want to be safe... How much did you pay for it? I am thinking of using it as a portable harddisk... 32GB is a lot of storage space.

S$158 on the last day of Comex at the Transcend booth.

I actually wanted to buy 16gb only, but $85 i can't put it on credit, & nothing else tat i want to buy from Transcend. So ended up with the 32gb card.

you have some point there, but think about it... everything we purchase/do will definitely come with risk.take street shot or candid shot come with risk too. Even our hdd at home might break down anytime, are we suppose to buy 4x250GB if we want 1TB space? :dunno:

buying 1 hd with photo viewer also enable us to share picture during gathering, just like one of the thread you posted, you mention, y spend so much and do nothing about it.

imagine having a Colourspace O, we can share 20GB of PP picture with everyone, Dont think you want to use your cam to do it.

Yes weight is there, personally feel more pro then con... no need to invest in anymore Memory card

1. For risk of data lost on hdd, you use RAID 1 (mirroring) on 2 harddisk of 1TB, not 4x250GB for 1TB space (this is JBOD mode, just a bunch of disks).

2. For sharing photos, I will prefer consolidation via 1 contact point and burn for all.

3. For viewing of photos, such device is too small and slow for anything more than 3 person, will prefer to spend the time at a home and playback for all on a 42 inch LCD, while enjoying drinks etc. Alternatively, do point 2 or print them out.
