Wonder how it could fit so little on 8 megs... Compression on the Sony? I do
not plan on buying one. For testinf a Infinity I get the choice of the
camera, 900-mhz rechargable cordless headphones or sun glasses. (Sunglasses
not my type.)

I went to look up IO Magic. Looks like they bit the dust. www.iomagic.com
The camera I have comes with a 2-4 meg smart media card. (I have 2 32-meg
for my MP3 player, and are interchangable, just have to format them each
time for each device.) It has a flash. I will take a pic soon with it and
see how it comes out. John, could you please send me a pic from your camera
in 640x480?

Thank you,
Eric Vogel
