That's the sort of solution that I'm also looking for. How is the battery life with DLs in the field?

I've also picked up a couple of extra SDs when Best Buy has sales on them. My strategy is similar to yours depending upon length of the trip. If I bring my laptop I dump my daily images onto the laptop and I continue to fill my intact SD stick dumping the new images onto the laptop at days end. Longer trips create a problem as I might cycle through my SD sticks and be forced to reformat one of them to keep shooting.

Now that I've got a new G9 which shoots RAW, I can foresee myself filling those sticks faster, even on a short trip. That Wolverine seems to fit the bill for lightweight, compact, in-the-field use.

I think that I will pick one up for an upcoming Arizona hiking/photo trip with my wife ( it's nice to know that I can stick the Wolverine in her backpack and not feel that I'm weighing her down ).
