The memory sticks for my Sony cost between $80.00 and $125.00 or so each when I got 'em, and I have six - 128mb each. While disappointed that I couldn't use them in a newer camera, I found no reason to complain. I got good use from them, even used them to xfer data from one computer to another for a while (still do, actually), and will eventually sell 'em for whatever I can get for them when I finally get around to selling the camera for which they're intended. They've served me well, but now it's time to move forward.
I can understand that some people may be upset that their CF cards can't be used in the new cameras, but OTOH, everyone knew going into this DSLR thing that it involved developing and changing technology. Did you really thing that the media wouldn't change at some point? Did people complain when their old floppy disks were replaced by newer media? Or is that not the same thing? Using dual memory slots takes up space and, presumably, costs the consumer some $$ as well. I'd rather not pay for the space a CF card takes up. I do understand your point, though, but I think you may be in the minority (not to negate your POV or situation, though).

Yes, I think I would. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
