        ahhh, but do you have a waterproof shell? Mine gets here tomorrow. Good for up to 100' down.... which is far deeper than I'll ever be going.

                Micro-drives do rock...did you see this released the other day?

                http://neasia.nikkeibp.com/wcs/leaf?...bt/news/281695

                Toshiba Corp has developed a hard-disk drive that measures 0.85 of an inch in diameter, smaller than the record 1-inch HDD that Hitachi Global Storage Technologies released in November, company sources said on December 13.

                Toshiba's HDD has a storage capacity of 2-3GB, equal to 2,000 floppy disks.

                          After burning up 3 of those 1 GB drives I will never purchase another one. I'll only be using high capacity CF cards from now on.

                              I have to agree i dropped 2 x IBM 1 gig drives off my desk onto a wooden floor and both smashed they are too easy to bust. I will stick with the new 2 gig compact flash cards a little more expensive but they take more abuse.

                                Sony's memory sticks go up to 1 GB too. Are they worse than microdrives?


                                I have the Sony DSC V1 with a 512 MB stick. Not a real pro camera I know but they do have 1 GB sticks for ~$600

                                                ... A quick glance at the noise comparison graph below relates very closely to what we can see on the patches. That is that Sony's DSC-V1 exhibits the least noise of all the cameras, the Coolpix 5400 is next best and the G5 (even shifted to compensate for its extra sensitivity) has the most noise of the three (from ISO 100 upwards). I was quite surprised to see this, clearly the competition have caught and overtaken Canon in this respect.

                                                One thing that's quite noticeable looking at the full color crops above is that Sony keep color balance under control throughout the sensitivity range, the Nikon crops for instance get progressively more color noise (cyan in this case) the higher up the sensitivity range. ...

It's a wonder you don't need a team of pack mules and a cart to transport that fat inflated bulbous head of yours. Certainly it must be far too much gravitational pull on it by now to even stand up straight.
