Not even a banner on some of the better know digital camera web sites. I have seen ads for Lexar in the printed media and for Viking on the Internet. C'mon, SanDisk. There are some computer savvy people out there using your products in not only digital cameras, but also in laptops and other mobile computing devices. SPREAD THE WORD!!! Ausdauer

re: write speed i just shot a 400KB jpeg with my konica Q-M100 and a 4MB sndk cflash when you hit the button a light dubbed "compactflash activity" goes on and stays on until the operation is complete. i measured 6 seconds of light on. also 6 seconds with a 200KB and 3-4 seconds with 80KB. Writes to the filesystem? don't know if the jpeg compression time (i.e. the camera writes the first block to the flash as soon as it starts compressing) is included but i think so. Faster jpeg compression engines should produce faster times. B. p.s. i just retested writing the cflash when housed into the imagemate (parallel) so, no compression to do in between. i did about 1 second for 200KB and about 3 seconds for 800KB. (parallel port limitation?) B.
