How big is YOUR card ?

Lyra is essentially the same thing, only with a 3.8" viewscreen, TV out,
music, video and pic playback, and a (substantially) higher pricetag.

For brute-force gobs of portable storage, the X-Drive is a good choice,
especially since you can buy your own drive mechanism. Upgradeability is
not a feature of any of the players.

Why not simply tether the camera to a unit with a 80 GB Hard drive? Now
someone go take the credit for my idea and make a lot of money.

The limiting factor with your idea is either the bulk of the HD or the
length of tether...G

Fear not, Pete. You can always buy more cards out here in NZ, which you
will probably need if you get to see some of the scenery here {:-)

Because of the tether.

No one wants it. It's annoying enough in the studio, in the field it's a
royal pain.

The Wi-Fi attachment is another issue altogether.

Don't look now, but such things have been around for some time.
