A whole mess of new Digicam news: and NONE of it bodes well for Iomega Flop! steves-digicams.com Lexar Media Announces 32MB SmartMedia, 128MB CompactFlash(!) and 320MB PC Cards Epson's PhotoPC 750Z Megapixel Zoom Digital Camera Now Shipping-CompactFlash Canon to Ship Pro70 and PowerShot A5 Zoom Cameras in March-CompactFlash Toshiba Launches 2.14-Megapixel PDR-M4 Digital Camera At PMA-Smartmedia Looks like Iomega and Flop! are completely left out in the cold. The recent Briscoe article confirms everything I've ever said about Flop! Too bulky, too power hungry, flimsy, etc. Flop! just can't compete with CompactFlash. And now there is 128MB CompactFlash. You can capture quite a bit of continuous video or audio using this without having to switch between and keep track of cards or disks. CompactFlash just keeps growing and growing in capacity, and falling and falling in price. Iomega's Flop? It's stuck in a timewarp at only 40MB. You can't even fit an album's worth of MP3's on it. What a joke.
