The Clik drive stinks.

I bought one last year, along with 10 disks. I took it on vacation with me (driving up Route 1), thinking I was oh-so-slick, shooting 32MB of digital pictures, then copying them to a Clik drive. It worked out nicely - or so I thought at the time. 32MB gave me about the equivalent of a 35MM roll, and by then I needed batteries anyway, so it was time for a battery change and a quick copy to the Clik.

When I got home, though, I found that I'd lost about 20% of my pictures due to errors. I lost one disk completely. I did manage to salvage most of the shots, anyway.

The quality of the Click drive is shoddy - the connector mating the recording head to the battery base (it's a goofy THREE-part setup - base unit for home, recording head, and batter unit) is really flakey, and sometimes you have to fiddle with it to get it to work.

After copying the pictures to my hard disk, the Clik went back to the store, and the disks went in the trash (they wouldn't take them back).

I now have a 160MB flash card... (And a new camera - I sold my Nikon 950 on EBay for $50 less than retail, and bought a new Nikon 990, which is, of course, even more flash-hungry. The 990 is MUCH more battery-friendly, BTW - I can shoot 100 pictures before needing a charge.)
