I think my point was that compared to other technologies out there, the flash cards aren't the only or the least expensive option. True cf cards have dropped in price, but that depends upon what your comparing them too. Now as far as microdrives and the like, if the BP was able to see more than 4Gb, then it could be possible for one of these to be used and that was my other point. The sd ram for example is less expensive than the cf cards as the last I checked when I purchased my wife's digital camera. These are nice as they are quite small, but not so sure what sizes they come in as 1Gb is probably all she'll ever need. Of course that's what we thought when we had her previous camera with 128Mb flash. In any case that's the comparison I was making. Of course it would be ncie to find 2Gb cf cards for under $100, I mean around $50 to $75. I think Best Buy had 1Gb cards for still about $100 which I thought wasn't such a best buy at all...grin
