I received my Sandisk CompactFlash 48MB card via UPS this past Thursday. I ordered it for $109 along with an Epson 850Z digital camera for $676. The camera still is vaporware despite Epson's claims that it was released Oct. 5. Anyway, the first thing I noticed that the Sandisk CF card is totally overpackaged. The device itself is very small. Very cool. Ic-direct.com could've mailed it to me first-class in a regular white envelope for Chrissakes. Instead, I get an 8-inch tall by 6-inch retail packaging with the tiny CF card peeking through a plastic window. Not only that, but ic.direct then ships it in a brown box with dimensions of about 12"x10"x10" with a big plastic bubble taking up 90% of the volume. Total waste for a product with dimensions of only 1.4"x 1.6"x .13" Rant aside, I'm quite happy with my purchase. I guess for now I'm stuck to just looking at my durable new 48MB Sandisk CaompactFlash card- until Epson stops pulling an "Iomega" with their vaporware 850Z camera, and finally starts shipping it.
