I always use a USB 2.0 reader to move files to my computer.  I also always
do a re-format in the camera when I put the now-empty card into the camera.
I had the problem you describe once, but only the one time.

The auto WB is very, very good if the lighting is "normal".  I shoot SHQ
JPG's about 95% of the time, as I need the workflow improvements and
shooting speed more than the extra RAW flexibility.

First, do you find that if you empty a CF card with a card reader and 
not the camera, that the camera still shows it as full until you 
re-format it?  I've run into that a couple of times.  Also, I ran into a 
problem Sunday that an empty card showed it only had room for 2 raw 
files, even after a reformat.  Re-seated the card, re-formatted one more 
time, and the full 48 showed up.  Weird.  These are the fast Lexar 
cards, so they're not from Joe's Memory Chips.

Second, I'm about to spend a weekend in Los Angeles, and plan on 
shooting a bunch.  However, I will have limited access to offline 
storage, so I may shoot big-ass jpegs instead of raw.

My biggest concern is getting the white balance right.  If I do that, 
what are the pros and cons of shooting raw vs. big-ass jpeg?  I can get 
a bunch more images in my allotted 1gb of cards that way...

I'm still learning, but having a lot of fun.  I have discovered that I'm 
probably going to have to pop for the Katz screen - it is indeed 
difficult to do MF with the OM lenses on the standard E screen, 
especially in lower light.
