Rocky and Thread, I think our commentary was right on when we discussed microdrive over the past 2 years. Evidence lately has been mounting that power consumption is a real problem. I posted a bench top comparison a few months back, but cannot find the link now. Other related items have included: messages.yahoo.com messages.yahoo.com This weekend I read the following in Digital Camera magazine (Aeon Publishing Group): Canon PowerShot S-10 Another noteworthy feature of this camera is that it supports CompactFlash Type II cards, which are slightly thicker and potentially far more capacious. The IBM MicroDrive, an amazing 340MB miniature hard disk, fits right into this device and offers you the oppportunity to store several hundred images at full resolution! The S-10/Microdrive combo is unbeatable when you take into account the size of the thing. The only downside is that the MicroDrive draws more power than a solid state flash card does, so your batteries will last from 50-75% as long as they would th an ordinary CF Card. I used a 160MB SanDisk CF II card and found it was a very good mate to the S-10. Plenty of performance and low battery drain made it a pleasure to use, and they tell me that a 340MB version is coming soon. Ausdauer
