The Olympus uses both SmartMedia and CompactFlash "32MB SmartMedia removable memory card included, storing up to 332 images with fast write times; additional 8, 16, and 32MB cards are also available Dual Slot design provides a SmartMedia slot and an accessory CF slot-for future technologies or use as a secondary slot for CF memory" Why not add a Memory Stick slot also?

Derek, re: The New Olympus Camera That is huge news!!! Guess that they left in a SmartMedia slot as courtesy to those loyal Olympus fans who have previously invested in SM cards for prior generation point-and-shoot digital cameras. I was quite intimidated by the Fuji and Olympus presence until today's announcement. They have captured the attention (and $$$) of many digital camera enthusiasts at the expense of CompactFlash. To be honest, I have been envious of their designs, especially the Fuji MX 2700 and the Olympus Camedia series. I think this is a major step. It appears by the model name that this is a consumer SLR (non-prof.) follow-up to the point-and-shoot C2000. This is the type of announcement I can get really excited about. Cannot wait for the "Canon Digital Rebel", a Minolta digital SLR offering and the migration of Fuji to CF with its first consumer SLR. With the holidays within the radar scope I think these announcements will be forthcoming. Yahoo!!! This is gigantic news!!! Ausdauer
