Thanks for trying, Harold7. On buy.com, I do not see SmartMedia formats that are > 128 megs. For all the other card formats (e.g. Memory Stick, Compact Flash, etc), I definitely see >256 megs, but I need SmartMedia format memory cards. (aka SSFD cards, as per
this link). I'm not trying to be lazy, this is a plea because I have not found such large capacity cards, despite searching every few days...

With just a couple 512 MB cards you could overwhelm yourself with pictures... unless you plan on taking more than 600 pictures, wouldn't two 512 MB smart cards be all you should need? |
Even one, just one card.... 2.1 Megapixels jpeg files should be over 600 hundred shots on one 512 meg card.
You see, I do not want to swap cards - these things are too small that I might lose the one 'spare' card (along with the contents - hundreds of photos). If the 512 meg card is never full and stays in the camera, there shouldn't be a risk of losing the card! I have not seen any of these capacities at pricewatch (for
SmartMedia format cards). I believe that the card format has hit its maximum capacity at 128 Megs, so this is probably a moot point; I also cannot find any tech papers that discuss the SmartMedia capacity shortcoming.
If it ever comes to pass, it'll be a hot item, IMO.
