I haven't heard any reports of microdrives being delicate. Have you experienced many failures? >These are likely using some of the new 1.8" mechanisms that premiered in >the iPod. I expect the main reason built-in hard drives would be unsuitable for PJ work would be the inability to swap cards and have someone working on or transmitting the first batch while the photographer kept shooting, or for physically separating different projects or sequences. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them showing up in consumer cameras. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
