<This is a misrepresentation of the digital camera market.> No it's not. Especially for SNDK. Minimum of $400 for a camera and flash storage, $400 for a decent printer with paper. Anyone buying more expensive flash memory (SNDK) is spending a LOT more than $800, too. Maybe people already have printers. But not good enough handle pictures. Dave

Ausdauer, re: "Who's gonna be buying $800 toys?" How right you are. There are $199 digicams, $499 digicams, $899 digicams, etc. Something for everyone! :-) What ticks me is that on the day on the SNDK letdown, I was at my local BestBuy. They were having a "sale" giving 20% off on a SNDK CF card with every camera purchase. I'd call it an "empty" offer considering that the biggest SNDK card they had in stock was 16MB. 32MB and larger had completely sold out! While the SanDisk rack was empty (along with most of its competitors), there were huge supplies of blank CDs. Thin-case, colored-case, rewritables, and even black CDs. Huge piles of CDRs and nary a flash card in sight :-( It is very hard to stare at an empty rack of hooks labelled "SanDisk Flash Memory" and reconcile that with SNDK's recent announcements. If there is excess inventory in the channel, it must be in the same place where excess California electrical supplies hide out. Craig PS Nno ... you can't copy Playstation CDs using Memorex black CDRs .. at least not using Adaptec software.
