Art and Aus, Memory Stick is a proprietary card. It is not possible to obtain its SPEC unless by paying a big sum of change and royalty to Sony. Based on its product manual, Memory Stick has slower performance than both CF and SD. As far as controller manufacturer for Memory Stick, I have not seen any press releases about it. I have heard that they use other manufacturers for Memory Stick controller design. Cheers, Derek

InfoTrends Study Reveals that Digital Camera Owners Expect Digital Photography to Replace Film in 4 Years BOSTON--Feb. 21, 2000--In a survey of 700 digital camera owners, InfoTrends Research Group, Inc. found that digital photographers expect to capture 100% of their images digitally by 2004. The study asked several questions about how digital photography has changed digital camera owners' film photography usage. The results show that owning a digital camera reduces the need to use a film camera. In fact, 30% of digital camera owners no longer use a film camera to capture images for their documents. For those still using a film camera, the digital camera, on average, has replaced 63% of the work that used to be done with a film camera. Ausdauer
