>Do the new Kodak 2 Megapixel cameras use Sandisk cards?<

Actually, many CF cards (panasonic,nikon,canon) I've seen says Sandisk at the back. I saw Kodak CF that says 'copyright/patents by SanDisk', so I don't know if that means Kodak pays Sandisk royalty payments or anything like that, but they are not manufactured by sandisk.

Wonder what the terms of royalty payments are? If Sandisk is savvy, they'll sign per-unit royalties instead of lump-sum.

The Nikon 950 is another camera (comes with a 8MB [made by sandisk] CF) that has a big enough buffer to capture many frames w/o stoping, but you it works only in manual mode and you need a firmware upgrade :

I was surprised how fast the continuous shot works : finally something to fill up my sandisk 96MB CF w/o getting a sore thumb.

I'm wondering if Sandisk can be the Kodak/Fuji of the digital age?
