OK - found a good deal on a D100 (now just waiting for it to get here. Ordered it through the local camera shop (where I used to work - so I'm gettin' it at cost - YAY!). Now comes the media issue: I did a bit of digging and came across the Flashtrax (http://www.smartdisk.com/Products/DigitalMultimedia/FlashTrax.asp) - a digital storage device that reads media cards and stores the content in a 30 or 80 gig portable device (complete with screen for viewing files) (also doubles as an MP3 player). Has anyone had any experience with the Flashtrax? Right now, my plan is to get a couple of 256M cards and the Flashtrax and run with it. I plan to shoot virtually everything in RAW format (and I don't know exactly what file size a RAW image is at max res...?). Does this sound like a good way to go about it - I'm wide open for other recommendations. Your digital novice - Wolf
