This was my understanding. I was told the reason CF cards are more $ than SM was because of the technology they employ made tem much faster. >I was just looking at getting an Olympus C-200 Zoom digital camera (I think >its called the C-450 in the US) but the downside is that the only ways to >get images out of it is either through USB or SmartMedia, neither of which >is an easy proposition for the Libby. I'm sure they have PC Card readers for SM. I really can't say how much slower they might be, but it may not me a factor. Maybe you could test drive something at a local high end photography shop. >For that matter, how much slower IS serial compared to USB as far as >digital cameras go? Anyone got any figures for time taken? I's probably not tha huge a deal... but I have no experience with it. My 16MB CF card (not big enough by any means) transfers all of its contents in a couple seconds. If you have to wait 20-30 seconds for SM, that might not be a huge problem. Again, maybe check with a local camera shop.
