>>Flash path may have significant implications for Clik!<< I think you're right, Mel. All positive. It shows there is a need to easily download the digital camera's flash memory. The flash path solution is missing one important feature though. It still ties you to your laptop or desktop or you have to take along a bag full of them. Clik! frees the photographer from dragging along his laptop and allows him to download to a very portable or built in high capacity disk drive. He can shoot as much as he wants for as long as he wants without returning to base. 4 meg Flash path @ $129 or Clik! @ $200 + $.25/meg. Which one do you think they'll go for? Les

Re:Flash Floppy Adaptor I agree that Flash card floppy adaptor is a really cool idea. It will be amazing if it is able to work with every single different manufacturer's floppy drives. And, if it can work in a Sony HiFi drive (with its floppy compatibility), so much the better. A laptop computer (or any other type of computer) with a Sony HiFi drive would be able to directly take both the Flash Card floppy adaptor AND HiFi 200MB discs from a digital camera. This assumes that Sony will incorporate the HiFi drive in a Sony Mavica Camera, which is seeming more and more like a possibility. With 200MB for $10, we are finally approaching the storage level (15MB per image) where digital photography resolution can be seen as similar to 35mm film. This says nothing about the image QUALITY, which I still hold that good film is vastly superior to a CCD chip. But with the 200MB available on a Sony Mavica HiFi camera, one would be able to store 13 such hi-res 15MB images on one $10 disc. Not great, but not bad either. Iomega's $10 for a mere 40MB is pathetic. only 2 such images can be fit onto a single Vapor! disc. $10 for only 2 images? Way to go, Iomega.
