Hi Merek, I can buy a heck of a lot of floppies for $100.00. And, it takes less than three seconds to copy a megapixel picture to disk. I need no special adapters, cards, cords, or special viewers to look at the pictures. Also, I can take a 60 second MPEG movie (with sound) on that same floppy. I can annotate, by voice, each picture as it is taken, whether it be a still OR a MPEG movie....and in stereo. Try that with your camera.

Bust one of the smart cards/flash storage and you're out big bucks. >> The 48Meg CF card is $100 online, and quite rugged. It survives a drop and will not bend or crack like the Smartmedia cards can. And it stores in less than a second, so you can shoot quickly. A disc takes time to write the data, and you are dead during that time. Merek
