Default Storage Idea

It got me thinking, as people have questioned about the lack of USB port for the simple convenience of popping in a USB memory stick for the ad hoc transfer of data.. that getting one of these alongside the microSD cards they're invariably going to buy, would solve the problem nicely..

Or

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bytestor-Mic...631781&sr=1-38

..for example

Small enough to have on you or keep handy in an emergency..

If you search Amazon for :

Transcend 16 GB microSDHC Class 2 Flash Memory Card with USB Card Reader

you'll see what I think is going to be my solution. seems quite easy at that point.

They're not micro SD, but you could look at trying one of the EyeFi wireless SD cards

I can report here that this solution is EXCELLENT for the folks here in North America. I also agree that the slot on the t-former to put it into is quite fiddly. I needed a pair of tweezers to get it all the way in and for the springs to lock it in place.
