- But considering that in the used market, MD-11s are significantly cheaper
- than MD-12s, and that otherwise the drives offer the same speed and
- features, the MD-11s are probably a better value for the financially
- handicapped (like myself). Hopefully, most of us can still remember to
- turn the power off when we're finished shooting :-).

- Of course, carrying a spare set of batteries is generally a good idea for
- any battery-dependant camera.
