Wheeee! Always wanted Sony to get off its butt and do this, but I'll
take one from Panasonic at $899.
Digital Camera (only 1.3 megapixels, but oh well) that uses the 120mb
SuperDisk (and also can use floppies evidently).
The only downside the article mentions is the cost of a SuperDisk
drive for your computer (about $200) but that seems like a non-issue
since the camera comes with a USB cable. Why bother with a drive?
Now I'm going to have to do some serious thinking. Go with this and
have ultra cheap 120mb disks to use, or keep waiting for a 2+
megapixel camera that comes with IBM's new Micro-drive?
The parts you want and nothing else?

There latest Cyber-shot camera uses a memory stick (which is currently available with up to 64MB and is a third the size of a floppy). Seems like (...) (25 years ago, 10-Sep-99, to lugnet.publish)

| (...) How fast does it transfer data via USB? 120mb is a lot to move. (...) I'm really happy with my new coolpix 950. It uses compact flash, which currently goes up to 160mb.
