Free - I hope your D70 arrives soon - I hate to think of you sitting there holding a 135-400mm with nothing to attach it to!

I get nearly 80 best quality JPEGs (depending on how much detail is in the subject) on my Canon 20D (which is 8Mp) on a 256 card so that will keep you ticking-over, no problem. Even the 'normal' speed Sandisk, that Canon gave away free is OK - the faster 'Ultra 11' is better but not essential if you're looking for minimum cost.

Have a look at any of the on line stores - Digital Depot are OK for memory cards - you'll get a 128mb for about a tenner I'd think - that would keep you going. On the general subject of memory cards, I would'nt just rely on one card anyway it's not unknown to have problems. If you've gone somehere special and your card fails it's always good to have back up. I personally have 4 smaller cards - 512mb and 256mb - rather than one large one. That way you're less likely to lose everything.

The wife rang me and said the camera does not work? She said i have powered up the pack put it in the Body but nothing? I said have you tried with the Lens on?
OH! she said. :'D

If she doesn't know what she is doing - don't let her play with it!

She is OK but she rang and said that the power pack is in but nothing works! I said you have got the lens on? eeerr! No she said just the body bit with a big hole in the centre :'D
