Question: where does it put the files on that hard disk? What I mean is, are all the pictures put in the top level directory? Or is there a new directory created each time you insert a card? The reason I ask is if you reset the file numbering each time you format the card in the camera, then you get identically named files. Or if you have one set of photos from this card, another set from a different card (or second use of the first card), and you want to keep photos grouped.
By the way, my nicely-priced 2G ultra-two card from buy.com, still has not shipped...
Each time you press copy on the drive, it creates a new file called CF0001, CF0002 etc up to CF9999, when all the file numbers are used then the drive is unusable until the numbers are cleared.
My 1GB card arrived from Hong Kong today but I don't have any time to shoot
What card are you using on your 20d and how does it run? Is the 20d like the mark2? As fare as speed? On my way to pick up my 20D!!
All you rich people, with healthy cameras, I have you all beat. I am getting some shots that are not bad with my Canon Elph!
And they sure upload a lot faster. I noticed that right off, but didn't stop to think that is because they are smaller files.

Have fun with your "big people" cameras. Remember Noblesse Oblige. That means that your shots must be stupendous. I can do turn in just about any old shot, it is the camera's fault. With your "guns", you ain't got the camera to blame.

Gotta keep thinkin' here.
A good resolution pic on here is about 100kb so for the majority of shots, unless you want to turn them into posters, it makes little odds how many mega bits you throw at it.

I miss some of the choices I have on my Rebel. And the lens switching. That is one reason I am asking permission so much, I have to get closer. Have a bit of a telephoto on the Elph, but not enough to take a "people" shot without being obvious.
So, I do miss that, and a few other things, otherwise, the Elph is fine right now.
And the files upload so much faster. Every time I add files my PC acts up, even the smaller files, but it is not acting up as much.

Sorrry Ginger I did not realise you had changed your camera, I was looking at the elph as a point and click when the rebel is just too big, maybe soon.
I bought a 160gb external hard drive for my laptop and put all my pics straight onto that so it keeps the limited space on the laptop free. It runs much more quickly now.

I would bet it does run quicker.
My Rebel is sick, it is at the hospital for repairs, they said 7 to 10 days. Happened the first of last week. Took me a few days to pick my Elph up and use it.
Then I realized I didn't remember how to use it. Good thing I found the manual.
I do like the Rebel, it is easier to put a telephoto on, it is bigger that is true, but if I really want, I can put a telephoto on to get a picture without all the hassle and questions.
With the elph, it is small, but I have to be close to the people, and if they are noticing me, well, they are either smiling at me, staring at me, or yelling at me, so I just kind of feel I have to say something. I usually ask nicely.
It is actually harder to hide than the big camera.
I never realized that before.
I will have both again, hopefully, in about a week. I am pleased at the results I am getting from the Elph, I always did say it was a good camera. Now I realize how good, and it is not the latest, it is the 230.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, however, there is.

In the last 20 minutes they've already sold 4 of the 30 cards they had. Order fast.
I've cancelled my buy.com order. Bought a second card from them. First card took two weeks to arrive. I'm tired of their slow order fulfillment. Cancelled buy.com, ordered from the above instead.

Wow! I ordered my card from ecost last night, with over-night delivery, and Fed Ex tried to deliver this morning! This is a huge difference in my experience with buy.com which took nearly two weeks. They still have this card in-stock if anyone still wants one.

OK, I ordered one - Fedex overnight. It better get here because I'm going to San Francisco on Thursday and I sure don't want it sitting out on the driveway while I'm gone. They tend to do that, just dump it out on the driveway and leave. They must get brownie points for getting done early or something.

Anything similar that has a Firewire interface? No USB 2.0 on my notebook.

With a 1G card, 314 photos in large-fine JPG at ISO 100. In RAW, 139 photos.
My 2G ultra two has also not shipped. Yes, slow service...
