Hi all

I've been playing with my new 650 all day and loving it. I see Sony is honest enough to acknowledge that using an SD card will impact battery life, but I wouldn't mind being able to carry around a little extra data in those slots I paid for!

After a little googling I'm still none the wiser as to whether a MicroSD card in an SD adapter would be easier on the battery than a full sized SDHC card. I have an 8GB Sandisk uSDHC and an 8GB Sandisk SDHC, so all other things being equal I wonder if the smaller card uses less juice.

Any input would be appreciated.

Cheers!
