You can already buy microdrives that fit where a CF card does.

I would think the little 5GB drives similar to what's in in a Rio Carbon or iPod Mini could work very well in a digital camera and a 40GB hard drive from a full sized iPod would work pretty well in a camcorder. Why are people opposed to it? |

Why are people opposed to it? Nikon has an iPod-like separate 30GB HDD unit with 2.5" viewing screen and CF card reader. It's not built into the D70 & DX cameras, but serves the basic purpose. Hunt |

Yes:- http://www.jvc.com/presentations/everio/ That camera uses what the site calls "4GB Microdrive® Removable Media". There's a drawing that seems to indicate that the Microdrive they use is larger than a similar CFG card using a Microdrive, but there's nothing to indicate that they are not using a standard CF/Microdrive card, and nothing to indicate that the drawing is to scale. The site indicates that the Microdrive is removable, and can be "set" into a PC, but does not indicate the form factor of the removable drive, or any specific reader to handle their particular Microdrive. Based on this, I am concluding that they use a standard CF/Microdrive card, and using Ad-speak to cloud the issue.

Yes:- http://www.jvc.com/presentations/everio/ On closer examination, the camera uses Microdrive/CD/SD cards. No inbuilt hard drive. Just the ability to use CF/Microdrive cards, with ad-speak used to impress/confuse the reader. Look he http://www.jvc.com/presentations/eve...iew/index.html and look to the right of the box that says "Print Service". It explais what the icons in the diagram mean. "When the media created with Everio is set into a PC* or Everio is connected to a PC via a USB 2.0 port, you can play and store data, burn it to a DVD, upload it to the Internet or print it. *May require an adapter." No mention of where to buy the adapter, nor any indication the adapter needed is anything other than a standard CF or SD reader.

80x speed-12gb compactflash card
http://www.pretec.com/product/SSD/CF...Cheetah80X.htm Only $9,999 Pete -- remove xxx from email to reply "Jim Townsend" wrote in message ... TS wrote: Any plans for digital cameras and camcorders with built-in hard drives to ever be created? I would think the little 5GB drives similar to what's in in a Rio Carbon or iPod Mini could work very well in a digital camera and a 40GB hard drive from a full sized iPod would work pretty well in a camcorder. Why are people opposed to it? Sony makes a camera with a built in CD burner. All you have to do to view your photos is pop out the CD and place it in your computer's CDROM. http://www.steves-digicams.com/cd1000.html Somehow this configuration isn't popular. Small removable media seems to be most preferred. They've already made hard drives small enough to fit in the place of a type II CF card.. They may have 40+ gigs capacity some day. Of course, they may have solid state 40 gig cards in the future too. Who knows :-) |
