>>This is infuriating.<< Not too bad if they pay royalties to SNDK. Even if they don't, OEM stuff is low margin. Eli noted that you could get a 16 mb flash card at Costco for $7. If that's what Simple Technology is going to provide for Canon customers, wish 'em well. The real money is elsewhere.

The SanDisk cards are slow, slow, slow. Canon did the right thing by going with SimpleTech. See the speed comparison of high-end cards below. I don't what the relative speeds are for 16M cards.
