I really don't understand the hoo-ha about the CF card slot on the *ist-D. After pressing the eject button, my cards slide right out with a little assist from right thumb. I've read complaints that you can't grasp the cards and pull it out - but you don't _need_ to grasp it to pull it out... - MCC ----- Mark Cassino Photography Kalamazoo, MI http://www.markcassino.com ----- Mark, It is a question of having to come up with a method to remove it. I instinctively tilt the camera to remove the card. I have used the Nikon D1H and D1X extensively. The card just pops out and there is no fumbling around with a particular method to remove the card. I have small hands, it was a little cumbersome to just reach in and get the card, thus my complaint. Cesar Panama City, Florida
