Aus and Thread, Now I ask you, who would want to buy a camera that comes with a flash card that holds only ONE uncompressed photo? Nikon is clearly supplying a 16mb card from Lexar because it is cheap. Anyone who wants performance from the Nikon 990 will immediately start looking for a flash card with 128 or 256 mb capacity, and who makes most of those cards? As for USB ports, the SNDK ImageMate is designed for USB. I suspect that the reason the 990 doesn't have a 16mb SNDK card is that SNDK would prefer to use its limited resources to make the higher capacity cards that sell at higher prices and create bigger profits. Leave the cheap stuff to competitors. It's somewhat like INTC and AMD several years ago, where AMD always ended up with the low margin, lower speed chips going into cut rate computers, and Intel kept bringing out new higher performance, higher profit chips for computers in higher price ranges.
