Checking my main source which is B&H which is nice for me because of their well organized website and I can walk there and they tend to have everything I notice they have 4 SD cards now 121 SDHC cards and 26 SDXC, the new thing since 2009 X would seem to stand for extra large as they go into the Terabits while the older HC's did not. The smallest SDXC card is 64 gigs but there area plenty of 128 GB versions and one 256 for 400 bucks. I just moved up to 16 mg cards and it tends to work out for me with my Nikons that I change the battery when I load the card into my hard disk. Rarely do I get in trouble with this workflo. But a 16 gb card I never come near to filling up. My card reader is a firewire one for some reason my MacBook laptop has given me trouble with regular UBS's on that account. I thought I'd read you wrote you had formatted your disk not in your camera. On 2/5/13 11:37 PM, "Lew Schwartz" <lew1716 at gmail.com> wrote: > I do have that confidence, Bill.
