should I include the XD Picture Card as a part of the package? I mean is there a way they can extract the information that was previously stored on the card and blackmail me with it?

doesnt your camera or camera software allow formatting of the card? i dont think information will be retrievable after a format, not by normal buyers anyway.

If you're really worried about that (what, do you have top-secret military codes on the card?), here's my suggestion:

- Put the card in the camera. Format it.
- Take pictures of the floor or whatever until the card is full.
- Format it again.

In theory, the only thing that should be "rescueable" (although I doubt anything would be without far too much effort), will be your photos of the floor..

I've heard the same thing, except do that cycle three times.
