When i get my Fuji film back, everything looks blue. and Kodak often costs $2 (more) for film and development than fuji stuff. i guess you get what you pay for... What is the difference between 1024x1024 camera ccd and a 600 dpi scan of a photograph? i've seen and done a few photograph scans, and they look really good when printed on color laser printers enlarged (on glossy paper). Makes good calendars, or gifts. I'm not so sure about the need for proprietary devices in the camera market. maybe you are trying to say product innovations. Sony pushed the fire wire initiative long before the standard was ready for the PC. heck, i don't know what i'm talking about. camera stuff is way out there for me. yes, it is true, i would rather have a 40meg flash card for $5-10 than a 40 meg clik! cartridge at the same price. why is the interface of the clik! different from the interface for a smart card on a camera? i thought they would be the same, since they are designed to plug into the same port? or is the cartridge electronics built into the camera different from smart card technology? I agree with you that clik! will have sales problems in 2000 and beyond when smart flash cards sell at 40mb capacities for less than $5. but for 1999, it might be a banner year for digital cameras! i might buy one, if i don't have to go to the photo developers anymore.
