If the makers of high end cameras wanted to use the smaller chips, they would have. The fact they didn’t tells you something. Think of this as a “for emergency only” choice, not a way to use a less expensive type of memory. Or, use it as an adapter to read data from the cards via a CF Reader, as Terry does.

Thanks for the tip, Terry! With SD being a lot cheaper for higher capacity this might be an attractive offer for a lot of us. Is there any word on the speed of the card?

Thank you, again.

Jeremy,
That’s exactly what it’s designed to do. Sorry if I didn’t make that clear.

hmm…I wonder if this adapter would work with the eye-fi card in a regular DSLR…
