Dan:

I rent and the 16g cards are as high as they go.

The duplication of card file numbers was the scary part of the whole process. I could have easily wiped out an entire card had I not become aware of the problem during the shoot.

As I use this camera more and more (lately it is the "flavor of the week" so it seems) I have come to understand these quirks and I just deal with them.

A bit more development on the part of the manufacturer would help make things a tad easier is my point.

Thanks for all the replies to my venting : ).
