First Look: IBM's 1GB Microdrive
From Rob Galbraith's pro photojournalist's web site comes this 1GB Microdrive First Look. Rob said:
- "It's a hoot to stick a CompactFlash card into Nikon's D1, check the frame counter and see 746 frames remaining. With IBM's 1GB Microdrive, slated to ship in September, 746 frames is the number of JPEG Fine files the camera will initially estimate it can hold, though it will typically not fill up until about 1000 photos have been shot.
The card's larger capacity and slower rotational speed relative to the original 340MB Microdrive translates into little change in overall card performance in a Nikon D1 workflow."
