Ink on the cards

[cA70]

To skip the story go to , just trying to explain so people know why i did it.

When i bought my camera i paid for a really cheap CF card because i just wanted to be able to store more pics and was told that all were the same.

But on the day of picking up the camera (3 months later) they hadn't got the one i order in, so they gave me the expensive one for the same price, got the $200 one for $160.

I liked that one alot and had heard about alot of cards ie:scan disk that had problems sometimes.

So i though, i have the docekt for this one, and i went back and got 2 more at the cheap price (there motto is "find a cheaper price and we'll beat it") sicne it was the same company they just matched it.

But the probelem i now face is:

Which one is my picture/movie on? u dont know how anoying it is to have 3 of the same card. I think its a great card and has yet to fail me, but!



On the other side of the fancy side of the CF is where you can write stuff one it. Will a permenent marker cause any problem to my camera? I was thinking after extended use because the camera does generate a bit of heat and i do use it for long peorids of time. Didn't want it to run and leak into the internals of my camera.

Anyone written on there yet?

Should i/shouldn't i?

I put my Sentinel details there using a cheap biro - No problems even after a couple of years for my oldest (64MB) card.

P.S.

Sentinel is a company that for a small annual subscription will protect both your credit cards & your possessions so you don't have to reveal your address and the fact that you are, say, on holiday, to any finder. This (http://www.credit-cards.me.uk/protection.htm) will give more details to the curious.
