"It's Official"... This info hasn't been updated since April 1998 (approximately, one month or so). The camera you site costs over $7000 with all accessories. Clik! did not exist in April 1998 for OEM testing. This particular camera market (moving video) is not the market clik! is designed for.

"Safe, reliable, efficient CompactFlash is for Nikon. It's for me too." Well, Rokket, I guess you had better read the whole FAQ. You are left out alone on this one. The sentence before the one you quoted states: "CompactFlash™ cards may also be used with a PC Card adapter however this is not recommended nor supported by Nikon. " Of course, we wouldn't want to waste our time reading the WHOLE document, would we? Just the important parts. Yeah, like you are going to buy a $7000 digital camera, anyway. (Sorry for the tone, folks, I'm not in the best of moods this afternoon.) Cameron "Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot."

Lucy Reid: Before I forget, Nikon Tech (Perello) support informed us that the clik! had not been officially field tested (as of the 15th) for use with a Nikon camera product and is not included in their statement regarding disk drive use; and thus they could not comment on its viability for use with a Nikon product. So, your statement <<This seemingly kills any chance at all of Nikon ever using Flop! Also, IBM's TinyDrive is out. >> is incorrect since they've not tested IBM's either. Another projection without validity.
