Arhhh redundant memory galore, which is very annoying when my 512mb Memory stick was over £100 ($200) when I bought it back in the day.

It can be a pain, but I think we will all have to start co-ordinating our purchases to avoid this type of thing.

I agree on this - I can definately see why Canon did what they did, but I'd prefer to at the very least have data mirrored across both cards.
