Thread,

from the CMPnet article posted earlier...

"One reason for the rush to SanDisk's multimedia card is that it promises to
reduce the price of MP3 players compared with players that use existing flash
products. Another plus is flexibility: The SanDisk card can be used in other
products, like digital cameras. Sources said Samsung's failure to include forward
and backward compatibility to digital cameras hurt its standing in the domestic
flash market."

From this month's PC Magazine...

"One significant difference between the CoolPix 950 and the MX-2700 is the choice of memory cards. The Fujifilm unit uses SmartMedia cards, of which the highest density is 32 MB. The Nikon camera uses CompactFlash cards, which go up to 96 MB and will shortly be available in 160 MB."

This along with the www.digitalkamera.de post from this morning is mounting evidence of SNDK's superiority.

"The Rio PMP300 has a built-in 32 MBytes Flash-Memory, which with its high compression of MP3 format, is able to store up to about 60 minutes of music. If that is not sufficient for the users, they can resort to SmartMedia cards, which Rio has a slot for. However, those people who want to use their SmartMedia cards alternately in their digital cameras and in their Rios are in for an unpleasant surprise: memory cards that have been used at least once in a Rio are rejected by the digital camera as being defective. Re-formatting is not possible, not even in an external card reading device, PC-card adapter or floppy adapter. All these devices indicate "Card Error". On the other hand, use in the Rio MP3-Player is still possible."
