    Ich would like to use the AAO on holidays to watch and pre-select (not edit) my pictures taken on CF-Cards but would like to avoid carrying a cardreader with USB. Does anybod know of a kind of concerter/adapter CF to SD that would fit into the memory-card-slot on the right side of the machine?

    thks and rgds

    You do realize CF card is like 10 times bigger than an SD card, right? So it's not possible to make a CF card physically fit inside a SD card adapter.

    no, carry a small reader with you and a retractable USB cable.
    Or you could do what I did and get a second camera that does use SD (though it will be more consumer-ish than prosumer level than the camera that does use CF).

    You can easily get a cheap CF card reader that's about half or one third the size of the CF card.
