Have you considered something else when evaluating the cost/mb. of compact flash? Everytime you use your card the cost goes down... i.e. Say I've used my 32mb card 10 times... I processed 320mb of data so the cost per goes down each time I use the card... It may be a bit of a stretch to see it that way but I think that view has some validity when calculating the long term cost of compactflash memory.... An interesting perspective, but isn't that true of Clik! disks as well? But your main point is still valid: how many digital camera users will need more than about 320mb of storage at any given time? However, as Allen pointed out, images are requiring more memory as time goes on, the corresponding increase in quality may generate more demand for digital cameras, and that 320mb may very well prove to be inadequate. I don't know how representative I am, but if I ever go digital, my requirement would be the equivalent of about 10-12 rolls of film. Though I don't know whether I'd go for Clik! over compact flash.
