====================
    Hello Alan, nice talking to you !  

 AZ> Interesting the various schemes used by different camera
 AZ> manufacturers.

        Interesting for sure but why would the same manufacturer use
   different SW in their units. I presume that over the years,
   months ?, they improve on it and thus present us with a new way to
   keep the card loaded.

 AZ> one of which is a DCIM folder.

        Ah ! all of them make up that folder called DCIM.

 AZ> seems to give its images names with different numbers, so I don't get
 AZ> file overwrite issues bunching them together. There seems to be no
 AZ> limit to the number of photos that can be stored in that single
 AZ> folder-- at least we haven't reached a limit with the 64 MB memory
 AZ> cards we've got.

        64 MBs ? Does the screen tell you how many photos you have
   left on a new formatted card ? My 96 MBs card, newly formatted says
   that I can take 96 frames. Is this a coincidence ? Let us see. Ah !
   A 64 MBs cards says 64 frames to go. It obviously has to do with my
   settings, I use the best resolution possible in KB "weight".

 AZ> My Olympus (SP500-UZ) creates a single DCIM folder, with a single
 AZ> folder named 100Olymp inside with the image files in it. (I don't think
 AZ> it creates additional folders as more images get taken, and it
 AZ> certainly doesn't create additional folders for images taken on
 AZ> different dates). 

        That is what this newer Canon does too, I was quoting from my
   RAM of the first Canon, an A5. Looks like the industry, for once,
   is standardizing things.
     
       
   There are so many geese here that it is
            deafening.  What a show !
