ExpoDev should work on any device that runs the Palm OS. ExpoDev is a lightweight program and doesn't create big files. Each record is no bigger than a typical email (2k).

Data is easy and quick to enter and the program keeps a record of everything you did in the field. Since the record is an ordinary Palm Memo you can add notes or printing info at any time. When you HotSync all the data is backed up to your PC. So, HotSync after every photo outing.

An advantage of the BTZS system is that it is quick and easy to use. There is a learning curves as with everything, but not nearly the math that most people fear. If you understand the relationship between shutter speeds and f/stops you can understand Subject Brightness Range and film curves.

Metering is often the hardest thing to master simply because our eyes see differently than film and we don't realize that film takes in a much shorter range of tones than exists in the real world. At least, here in sunny Arizona we are always fighting to record high contrast scenes.
