>>2. Reach into your camera bag and remove your battery operated clik! drive. Insert your flash memory card and transfer the data to a $10 clik! disk. Now you're ready to shoot again with the satisfying feeling of knowing you have 9 more clik! disks left from your ten pack.<< And you also have the satisfaction of knowing that your valuable vacations pictures now rest in the hands of a flimsy, unsealed, contamination-prone mechanical disc drive. Watch what happens when 1 grain of beach sand gets inside that thing. Everything about Vapor! is substandard to the needs of the portable realm. From its power usage (again, Iomega refuses to publish these specs), to its below-industry standard shock and vibration testing, to its overall reliability potential. Nikon states on their website that they refuse to use disc drives in their portable devices. I wonder why this is? Nikon says "For Maximum Reliability." I tend to agree with Nikon. One should avoid this seemingly "cheap" solution. Lost pictures and data are VERY expensive.
