I want one that takes CF but that's mainly because I already have some in
my
Epod (48meg) and I bought a 340meg IBM Micro-Drive for my iPAQ on the
Tottenham Court road when I was in London.   £129 + VAT for 340 meg is
pretty good.  You can get a 1 gig version too (Phil had one in his E10 at
the meeting).  I don't think you can get anything like these sizes in smart
media.

Being able to interchange one standard media type between 3 devices has
obvious advantages.  Be aware that the micro-drive is a Type 2 CF card and
even then some cameras that accept type 2 solid state CF won't work with
micro-drives.

No experience of SM except for the one I saw in Des's camera and it's VERY
thin.
