CF v Microdrive
Discussion
In a nut shell
A CF card is solid state = http://computer.howstuffworks.com/removable-storage10.htm
A Microdrive is a mind hard drive = http://computer.howstuffworks.com/removable-storage6.htm
Both are the same size
HTH

You could always get one of those 40Gb external HD jobies and a few more CF cards
That's the best route I think.
Should be good for storing about 5,500 raw images (or about a couple of hours of being a bit trigger-happy!
)
SanDisk 4gb Extreme... mmmmMMMMMMMMmm 
OK you Epson fans - can you tell me if it reads RAW NEF files?
I hear it's a brilliant bit of kit and the screen is (usually, hot pixies aside) quite amazing, but I've had different views as to its compatability.
I think the 4Gb cards would have to come down in price to about £40-50 to compete with the flexibility of a couple of smaller cards and a 30-40Gb storage system.....(which will probably only be a few years away at the rate technology/price levels advance!)

OK - there's another THING on my wants list ! Damn
