Hitachi 4GB Microdrives

Photographers seem to be divided into two camps — those who loveMicrodrives, and those that hate them. I fall into the first group. I have six 1GB IBM Microdrives and have been using them since they first became available about 3 years ago. I have never had a failure over many thousands of frames in a half dozen different cameras.
But, I know that some photographers have had less inspiring experiences. Nevertheless I've decided that based on my experience so far, from below sea level to 12,000 ft; from -30C to +45C, in the Arcticandin the desert — I'm sticking with them. In fact I just purchased two of the just-releasedHitachi 4 Gigabytedrives and have started using them as my primary cards in theKodak DCS Pro Back 645and also in myCanon 1Ds,Canon 10D, andCanon S50.
