When you get the camera, take a photo and look at the thumbnail display and scroll right or left through
the info displays...I think there are 4 or 5. Histogram, basic EXIF data 1&2, and general file info. In the 3rd or 4th item
on the first EXIF page there is the firmware version. Mine is a version 2.0, so there is that wonder and worry eliminated.
And correct, Compact Flash only. I only buy used, but the price can be about the same or close nowadays. Hard part is
getting them in 'Low GB" versions. Not that the cameras can't take the big ones, I think a properly firmware'd camera can
take at LEAST 8GB cards (?), It's kind of a waste to use more than 4 GB on that camera. You'd get too lazy and lose data
one day. 2GB are almost too small. But plenty, that's for sure. You could shoot a whole shack weekend like a clicking cliche'
and not fill a 2 GB card, cause it don't do vid-yo. One thing for sure, now that SDHC is in almost everything modern, there are
people EVERYWHERE with CF cards they don't need.
Cept' me.
