Stephen, Interesting poit. Maybe someone on the list can explain the advantages of on-board 48 mb memory, verces the higher amount of memory on a compact flash card. And yes, the difference in cost between on-board flash memory verces compact flash card memory. Would it be right to say that the only difference is the cost? Or, are there functional differences?
