Ausdauer, if I really wanted to be pro-SONY, the list of best-selling digicams would have been presented more like this: "Mavica cameras currently hold 40% + of the market and it's increasing..." (statement on 6/2/99 from : x21.deja.com[ST_rn=ap]/getdoc.xp?AN=484673473 ) Top-Selling Digital Cameras, from CNET's "1000-Most Popular" # 1 Nikon Coolpix 950 # 2 Olympus C-2000 # 3 SONY Mavica FD91 Floppy-based # 4 Nikon Coolpix 700 # 5 Olympus D400 # 6 SONY Mavica FD88 Floppy-based # 7 EK DC260 # 8 EK DC210 # 9 SONY Mavica FD81 Floppy-based # 10 EK DC265 # 11 SONY Mavica FD83 Floppy-based # 12 Toshiba PDR-M1 # 13 Epson Photopc 750Z # 14 SONY Mavica FD71 Floppy-based # 15 EK DC240 # 16 Olympus D620L # 17 EK DC265 digital camera # 18 SONY Mavica FD73 Floppy-based # 19 Epson Cassiopeia E-11 # 20 Canon A5 #413 SONY Mavica FD51 Floppy-based as of 7/3/99: shopper.com Then, indeed, everyone could have seen more clearly the truth about floppy-based digicams intruding more and more on the CompactFlash and Smartmedia arena, a fact I notice your post deliberately avoided (...i.e your post on the Sandisk thread, one which I had never visited until directed there today by your URL). Travis posted the CNET 1000-Most-Popular URL on this thread on 7/2/99 ( Message 10368300 ). My original post was directed to comments made by Rocky Reid about 1) Nikon Coolpix 950 and 2)"Consumer Digital cameras either have CompactFlash or Smartmedia slots".) Message 10252277 I just wanted to demonstrate the popularity that 1.44MB floppy-based cameras currently have. Those just happen to be all from Sony at the moment. Perhaps Clik!-based cameras will soon join in? [Should I post this information on your Sandisk thread?]
