Kevin Did you read in the other article that Smartmedia has larger sizes coming soon? "CompactFlash, a flash memory format from SanDisk, comes in capacities that range from 8MB to 64MB. A 64MB card can store up to 70 images at VGA resolution, which is fine for e-mail or Web publishing. The higher-resolution images that yield photo-quality printouts may require 3MB or 4MB each. SmartMedia, developed by Toshiba, is available in 4MB to 16MB capacities, with larger sizes on the way." This makes more sense to me. How about you? If you were Toshiba would you have larger sizes on the way? On the positive side, I also read that with declining prices per megabite expected, Compact Flash is projected to grow from being in 60something percent of all digital cameras to 80something percent. Were gonna win, but I doubt it will be because Toshiba just sits on it's hands. Bill Z
