Fun! Nailed to a tree. Yeah, that's a common problem. LOL!!
They missed the most brutal test of all -- formatting a card in one
camera, writing some pix to it then inadvertently using that card in a
different model camera from the same manufacturer. Don't ask me how I
know about this . . .
The other interesting factoid to emerge from that article is "Around
eight out of 10 digital pictures are thought to never make it into
printed form at all." Wonder if that's based on the tendency to shoot
a lot more pix because "they don't cost anything" or if people are
satisfied by seeing pix on screens -- ranging from LCDs on the backs
of cams to computer displays to televisions and projectors.
