Minolta A2 and microdrives

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital.zlr (More info?)

Answered my question.

I Purchased an Hitachi microdrive and have results of the tests at:
http://e-followupmanager.com/memory/

I have been very pleased with the drive and it does not seem to
noticeably impact battery life.

With the 4GB microdrive, the A2 takes 335 photos at the RAW setting, 503
at the extra-fine setting and 991 at the fine setting.
