Then rather than remove the card, get into the habit of changing it for the other one. I do this - if a card comes out of my camera, another goes in straight away. yup Canon EOS 350D, Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6, 24-105 f4L IS, 70-200 f4L, 300 f4L IS, Kenko 1.4x pro300, 430EX, Apple Powerbook G4

I've never heard of this before... I'd be too worried to forget it in my pants and then throw everything into the wash, and lose all the shots. My Photo Website -

Paul_O Senior Member  351 posts Likes: 3 Joined Jun 2004 Location: Perth, Western Australia More info | I always leave the camera with the CF door open next to the pc until the card is put back in. I don't think dust would be a major issue as you could always remove it and it usually only for an hour or less and I've never gone cardless (touch wood!) My Gallery

SuzyView Cream of the Crop  More info | Nov 11, 2006 12:06 | #40 I like your title, Pete. I have a routine with my lens caps as well and I have not lost one yet! YEH! But I do have a habit of leaving the CF card in the computer as well. But not being a professional and working off 2-3 cards at a time, things can get pretty messy on my desk. I've learned my lesson and the 20D is set to not shoot without a card. Makes life a lot less complicated unless you're already at the location and you don't have a card and you know you don't.

Restrictions: I don't like using my camera as a CF reader. I don't like leaving the CF door open (because I'm gonna break it off and because I dont' want dust in the chamber) Any suggestions? Yes. Turn your camera on and do a quick check before you leave. If you have no CF card, the LCD screen will tell you. Quite simple. 5D, Drebel, EOS-3, K1000

thats what i do, as long as theres always a card in the camera you wont get caught out.
But seriously I have put a CF card through the wash. Still work as good as the day I got it. My USB flash drive has been through the wash too. Still works fine!
I wouldn't recommend doing it often.
Needless to say I should really check my pockets better before doing laundry.
