I'm not quite sure what the "issue" is...

Yep, copying files via the USB interface on the camera will chew some
battery.  It's also likely not as quick as copying from a direct XD
card reader.  Camera folk seem to think it's a pretty good idea to
copy via card readers.

A quick glance at Canada Computers only shows one XD reader; certainly
not a ubiquitous technology like SD/MMC...  For $8, there's not a
*huge* mistake to be made...
