I bought this microdrive with Canon Powershot G1 digital camera. Until I bought this drive, i had problem storing one trip images(100-125 images, one image app. 2MByte at high resolution). If you want a good solution for the problem of not been able to store multiple high quality images while on trip, microdrive is for you.

From the beginning, my major fear was that the microdrive would use so much battery power that it wouldn't be worth the space it offered. While battery life is dependent on the digital camera/battery you have, my experiences have shown this drive to take little more power than a regular static memory card. With many cameras offerring upper resoloutions of 2048 x 1536 or over, image sizes can range to as large as 1.5 megs a pic. While a 256 meg static memory card would be nice, it is prohibitively expensive when compared to this drive. I have had nothing but good experiences with it, and would reccomend it to anyone with a compact flash using camera.

Shortly after getting the Cannon PowerShot S20 as a xmas gift, hubby forked out the cashe for the micro drive. Went from being able to store 16 photos to 379. Yes 379. I love the flexibility this offers and I have found I take so many more pictures. It is a bear to sort them out. I'll turn around and have 100+ photos in the camera. Highly recommend the splurge. Makes digital photography what it should be.
