SanDisk Ultra II SD Plus card: Sweet little device, until the hinge breaks. Or until that card fills and you take pix on your backup card that doesn't fold (you DO have a backup memory card, right?).

That's why I think SanDisk's MobileMate SD+ is a better product than the SD Plus cards. It looks and acts like a flash drive. The difference is you supply the memory by plugging your SD card into it. So you can plug in lots of different memory card formats and transfer to the PC of your choice. It supports the following formats: SD, mSD MMC, RS-MMC and TF.

At $20 (less than the add-on price of the Plus to an SD card), I think it's worth that extra little step to connect.

Casio Isn't Alone: Casio isn't the only company who has added burst shots to their cameras... HP and other companies have cameras that take a few shots at once.
