16gb microSDHC with adapter costs roughly $50, only problem is that you have to remove backplate when plugging the card in. but you can do it twice before devices memory is full....

personally i see no point lurking raw -files with n900. you can do it with your camera more energy efficiently...

I mostly agree. In the three weeks that I have had my n900, the back has been off twice. Once to put in the battery and an SD card. Second to put in a SIM a couple of weeks later. I even went through the pain of reformatting the SD card to ext2 with sfdisk rather than open the back to take it out.

But the OP seemed at a loss as to how to deal with his camera using SD and n900 using microSD.

Yes, but the n900 display is far nicer than the LCD on any camera I've ever seen. I doubt it would be worth it to me for the time and/or hassel of data transfer.

Wonder if the "Community" could pitch in?

Eye-Fi is awesome, btw; nothing better than snapping pictures in and around the house, going to your laptop and having the pictures there already! :)
Eye-Fi works only in ad-hoc mode (also, Pro edition only), which means no power saving. The other problem is you can't be connected simultaneously to the camera and an access point. The Eye-fi-s I tried out were also sloooow, definitely not something I would want to use with several gigabytes of images/videos...

Um, because I didn't think of it? :)

Seriously, are the micro SDHC cards fast enough to be used in a DLSR? If so, then you're right: getting a micro SDHC card with an SD adapter is a good solution.
