"Fortunately for SanDisk the digital camera makers will shoulder the burden for getting most of the message out. " Sandisk is to blame for not negotiating with customers to include blurbs about CF in customers' PRESS packages. Business Week was featuring KODAK digital cameras three years ago... but there was no mention of the role of storage The problem still hasn't been addressed. SNDK is an A-one engineering company, but they still don't have a clue on how Wired magazine chose to write about SONY and feature the Memory Richard, I mean Memory Stick. When will Kodak feature a TV commercial showing their 2nd place Digital cameras? We need a new Luther Vandros tune, "The Times of Your Life" for SNDK. SNDK can't afford to let the Nikon's to define the agenda! Binx Ranting!

Couldn't agree more. When I was much younger, I spent long hours in dark room breathing fumes from developing solutions over B&W photos. Digital photography is miles ahead, you have to try it to understand why it is so addictive. ...pleasure-oriented digital photography home on the weekend...and it was fun! It wasn't just fun, it was infectious, habit-forming, contagious and incurable. Digital photography is, to a great extent, self-perpetuating. Pictures taken on my nikon 950 on my two sandisk 96MB CF are read from a USB Sandisk ImageMate reader, placed on my HD in folders that are based on date of download. For each folder, I create a slideshow file using PhotoImpact, carefully entering informaton about the event, location taken for the pictures in the folder. Then when I hit 650MB, I cut a CD and archive them. Recently, I got a DVD-ram and used them to archive the pictures. Filled both sides of a 5.2GB cartridge so far, but the process is tedious. I think a more intuitive program like the CDaudio->MP3 ripper in MusicMatch jukebox that automatically creates new directories and slideshow with a database entry to create structure will do wonders here. Something with more powerful database features can later be used to go through key gems in the database to tag and create links to. To date I am unimpressed by any of the efforts made to achieve "simplicity" in the digital film market. Agree, much could be done here.
