I use the that 77E 486 filter as well and it seems to work fine. To add further complexity to this topic, you might check out Art Adams efforts to explore this at:

He concludes that the “hot mirror” filters might not be the best choice with this camera.

It works fine, although you’ll need a laptop or something to copy the files off the camera and then onto the USB stick. It’s all just data in that BPAV folder, and as long as your memory stick has enough room, you can copy as much as will fit. If my math is correct, 32GB will handle just under 4 hours of HQ footage at normal speeds.
And yes, you should check out the MxR reader/adapter gadgets. SDHC cards are going to be cheaper than USB sticks to be giving away 🙂

I’ve had good results from my MxR readers and Transcend 16gig SDHC card combo as well. They’ve worked flawlessly for all the normal speed recording on my EX3. Do be aware that there are some limitations with these adapters. Since they are not as fast as the real SxS cards, you can’t use them for overcranked shots. So, you’ll probably want a couple of SxS cards, but there is no reason not to use the MxM/MxR SDHC solution. The SDHC cards are cheap enough (on par with HD video tape) that you could just put them on the shelf when they’ve been shot, or hand them to the client at the end of the day.

Wow, automatic back focus setting? How does that work?
I agree, it would be much easier than traditional back focus settings.
