Tom Re:>>>Isn't there a digital camera being marketed that has a full sized floppy drive? <<< Tom , this is true and the power needed will be as high or more than would be needed to run the 20 meg Zip IMO . The only reason that I posted the fllowing link was to share what I find on the net , good or bad . techweb.com It is far too early in the digital camera development to predict winners and loosers . Iomega is working very hard to become the leader in the removeable digital storage area when it comes to computers , cameras etc . We can only give our opinions and some are probably not worth the paper they are written on . But after saying the above, I am betting my money on Iomega to become the leader for the next few years at least. I'm fully invested in the next floppy standard the ZIP if you will, Herb

Thomas, the power draining argument against n-hand is bogus. Battery technology is improving steadily. Right now, rechargable Lithium batteries would be an excellent power source. Let's suppose you carry a few n-hands in your camera pouch, why couldn't you carry a few extra rechargable Li batteries too? Besides, flash cards are quite power hungry too. I read recently that you only get a few dozen pix out of one set of batteries. Not exactly an energy miser. Looks like both kinds of cameras need rechargables.
