I know there was a message out there that this should be a reply to, but I can't find it.

For what its worth....

I experimented today with my PocketPC (Hp Jornada) and flashcards. After taking several pictures in the directory 167CANON, I popped out the card and slid it into the PocketPC, changed the directoy name to "Daffodils", created a word document indicating the time, place, and other information about the shoot, and stored it in the directory; created a new directory "168CANON"; slipped it back in to the 20D and started taking more pictures. It's not an ideal solution to the problem of creating folders in-camera, but it might come in handy if you already have a pocketpc that takes flash cards. Also, the photo viewer on the pocketpc worked fairly well with th 3MB jpeg files.

Why would you want to? Just use DIM (http://www.alanlight.com) to download all the photos on the camera to one folder on your hard drive and do it there.

Why would you want to?

Personally, I don't think I would ever need to. But, If I wasn't near a computer for a few days it might possibly be useful. I doubt I'd ever do this though, which is why I don't really understand the original post about being able to create folders on the 1Ds, but not on the Rebel or 20D (whoopee). The ones created by the camera do me just fine. :)
