You then have the other marketing gimmic of hard disk/memory card sizes where 1MB quoted does not equal 1MB useable.

Hard disks, etc, are sold as 1000 units per kB, MB or GB, whereas the systems that use them use 1024 (2^10) units per kB, MB or GB, as such your 400GB hard drive only actually has 372.5GB of space before adding any file systems.

The reason for this? bigger numbers sound better from a sales point of view - just like the 8MP vs 4MP farce I mentioned earlier in this thread.

Back on topic, pleased with this from my bridge camera last night - poor lighting and a flat battery, so warm it in my hands, put in camera and point and shoot within 3 or 4 seconds before the camera realises its flat and closes down!
