And works here too.

I had problems with that in a previous Olympus camera, the larger card 
seems more susceptible to being damaged by the electrical disconnect and 
re connection, so I bought the cables and quit removing cards. Plus the 
card is well covered by the battery in the Canon and difficult to remove 
w/o first removing the battery or battery's in all 3 cameras. This Canon 
needs the battery pulled, then a set of miniature 4" suture clamps to 
remove the card as it doesn't self eject by pushing it in to unlatch. 
PITA needing the suture clamps to pull it in other words as there is 
only about 1/32" of card edge to grip.  Its a little easier for the 
other 2, a Nikon and the first Olympus.

I at one time decades ago, had my own color darkroom & sometimes wish I 
had the color controls available then, but then I recall the finikyness 
of the chemistry and the need to formulate your own color paper 
developer, and welcome the new digital cameras, when they work, much 
simpler to get good results.  When they work...
