HOT DEAL: 340MB Iomega Microdrive - Staples No Coupon, No rebates $79.95

[Technocrat]

I just picked up a couple and thought that I'd share with you that Staples has the 340MB Iomega Microdrive for $79.95. It even shows on their website. Grabbed two for my D60. Almost cheaper than the equivalent of CF.

equivalent cf doesn't drain your batteries though.

and not everything has cf type II

True AznRyda, but I don't seem to have much of a problem. I shot about 1.5GB yesterday and my batteries never went down. Even when I had a G1 and a Dimage 7 it wasn't that great of a difference. As for the Type I vs. Type II, I can't think of any of my CF devices that won't use em'!

Battery drain is a myth. A Microdrive uses about 10-20% more power, that's all. Definitely worth the lower cost per MB than CF.

Yeah, I was thinking about pda usages more than digicam usages. I guess digicam battery consumption wouldn't be too bad. My camera doesn't take Type II though. *sniffle*
