Yes, but the combined value was less than £100 so it's not worth claiming with the excess/subsequent premium hikes. I'll try the club again tomorrow to see if they've been handed in - if not then it'll be Captain Visa to the rescue in time for KMFDM.

Due to a cock-up on my part during moving (Of losing CF cards, buying replacements, and then finding them) I have some spare capacity. Might you be interested in some of them?

Possibly :-) In analysing the incident, I think that the best future risk mitigation strategy is ~not~ to change cards at a gig every again.

This was caused by shooting with a higher MP camera than I'm used to and being "lucky" and shooting a couple of gigs where there has been no three-song restriction - basically on Thursday and Friday I shot nearly 4GB per event (though I lost 1GB of card on Friday).

So - I'm tempted to buy another 2GB card and put that in the 10D, which should mean I won't have to arse around too much (4GB total in camera should be enough for any evening) or to get a 4GB card for the 20D (which should be totally overkill).

The risk this introduces of course is card failure. However I count that (famous last words) as pretty low risk - and I do tend to buy expensive (and hopefully reliable) cards.

Does that make sense do you think?

Yip, I've never worried about card failure. Just running out of card. The 5Gb that I had at Infest almost saw me through the full weekend, and now I've got a load more than that:

1 1Gb slower Kingston card
2 2Gb Elite Pro
1 4Gb Elite Pro

Getting I guess that changing when you are between bands should be okay, but changing during a band is what you want to avoid, as it'll be much more likely to go wrong due to haste or being bumped.

How are you finding the 20D?

It's very nice - I'm still making use of the 10D, but it feels so slow and clunky compared to the 20D. Makes me want a 1DMarkIIN though :-(

Changing during a band is easier - as you're in front of the barrier in a relatively stable environment - it's when "in the crowd with the unwashed masses" that I tend to get bumped more, at least if it's a bigger/busier gig.
