The 16 mb CF in your Canon probably cost Canon about a dollar or less, given that SanDisk was still working through its inventory glut when the card went to Canon. Your 16 mb card may prove valuable in putting together a slide show, where you want to keep your higher capacity CF ready for live shots. I'd be interested in knowing whether the fast write time you reported was at the higest uncompressed (raw) resolution, or whether it was in JPEG format. I suspect the main problem in long write times with my Nikon is simply that there isn't enough buffer to handle the write function in the background, while the camera is readying itself for the next shot. There's also a new Canon S40 (4 mpixel) that seems like a powerhouse, still small enough to go in a shirt pocket. No doubt about it, conventional cameras are just about done for, except for the single use throwaway models. While all this bodes well for CF, the real problem is the lack of a non-consumer driven application, such as medical information cards. Without the stability of a non-consumer application, the stock will be subject to the whims of consumer spending. Art
