Allen... While in the U.S. last month I bought the new Kodak DC265 megapixel digital camera. The camera came with a 16 mb compact flash card. The 16 mb card holds 32 of the highest resolution pictures. I purchased another 16mb card and a 32 mb card. With the the 3 cards I have 64 mb of storage which equals 120 high resolution pictures. I don't have a card reader but I did buy a $15 pcima (???) adapter that allows me to transfer the pic.s into my laptop or as you said I can transfer then directly from the camera via a USB connection.

My point in describing all of this is that I spent $170 for 16mb + 32mb cards and $15 for a pcmia (???) adapter... i.e. much less than a CLIK! drive/disks... With this setup I have more storage than I will ever need(120 high res or 300 med. resoltuion)I have two fast easy methods for downloading... The cards and adapter don't weigh anything, don't need cables, take up no space, are very durable/reliable, don't need batteries or an AC adapter,etc... So basically what I am saying is that CLIK! will never compete against compact flash not at these prices and certainly not as compact flash prices continue to drop... Face it CLIK! did not and will never click with digital camera users... I hate to say it but FLOP! is right...

BTW for those considering a digital camera the new megapixel cameras are fantastic... the quality is as good as 35 mm... I've printed 8 x 10 prints on my HP 890 and people can not tell they are digital...
