Lee, Check out JVC's new Evrio line of "digital media" cameras. It's
essentially a CF-based camcorder that ships with a 4GB microdrive. JVC
claims up to 90 minutes of DVD-quality MPEG-2 video (300 minutes max) or
up to 10,000 2MP (1600x1200) stills on a 4GB card.

I've done a bit of research on this, and it seems like all the compact

pentax 43wr
fujifilm F700 (and others like 710)
various sony models, P8, etc
Canon PowerShot S1 IS
There's also the Sanyo Fisher FVD-C1. But the one thing with all
these cameras is that none of them use compact flash. Meaning the
largest media available is a 1 gb sd card or memory stick. It doesn't
seem like the 2 gb sd card is stock anywhere yet. Ah, there is a 2
gb memory stick, but it's really expensive at $300.
So, is there a camera out there that shoots movies in 640x480 with
unlimited recording times that uses compact flash?
Thanks,
