I've done that before
I now make a point of replacing the card as soon as I've finished downloading.
As for today....
Left ALL the cameras at home only to be greated by sunshine and frost when we got over the hill into North Yorks, Bugger!

They seem to know exactly what to say don't they?
When I got home my Mrs said "So did you use Jacob's camera?"
Jacob ( age 7 ) hadn't mentioned he'd brought his camera with him

I got a call from my brother asking me if I could call round "NOW" to do some pictures of my baby niece. It had been agreed but we needed to get her in a good mood.
Grabbed camera, DA*16-50 and DA*50-135.
Got there and thought, why is there a lens on the camera already? It was the 20-35 ... And guessed daughter had been using it.
But no, it was the wrong camera I had taken the *istD instead of the K20D. Not a problem I thought, but as I turned it on I realised that the batteries were low, but I had a spare set of AAs available.
Then, I realised, NO memory card and the spares I had were SD & SDHC but the *istD takes CF !
So, back home to collect the right camera!

Second hand camera, didn't come with lead or software.All the more reason to use the cable to download from the camera!.......mine never leaves the K20!......
Are the leads for the istDL easy to come by and do I need software to go with it, or does the PC see it as a removable drive?

When it comes to second hand/used cameras best stick to 35mm models.
At least you can buy a film and not feel guilty!!!
I allways use a card reader, too many cables cause confusion, my daughter keeps unplugging them and I sometimes loose them!
Still a spare card in the bag is always an option!

Talk about teaching your grandma to suck eggs......I did this a "few" years ago when my Kodak digital DC200? told me "no memory card"
Linking this topic into another recent topic can I say that this is another good reason to use the usb transfer cable to download images from your camera......you DONT take the dammed card out!

Tried to get a close up of a frost encrusted fern leaf....only for the camera to tell me there was no memory card!
I'd left it in the card reader plugged in my PC at home!!!! And my spare cards where in my main camera bag which I decided not to take as there was limited room in my rucksack!
