Rio Carbon MP3 Has A 5G CF To Be Cannibalized

Posted by timothy on from the one-way-to-price-shop dept.

GlucoPilot writes "This guy bought a Rio Carbon Mp3 player because he figured he could rip the 5GB CF Card out of it. He did, and put it in his prosumer 6MP digital camera. Now he can take 1,500 six-megapixel pics in one sitting. Oy." The card is apparently a 5GB Microdrive, note, not 5GB of Flash memory.

    It's nice to get a 5G 'memory card' for just $250. But does this microdrive suck the battery faster than regular flash memory card? This is quite an important issue because - as far as I know - digicams and batteries 'hate each other'.

    The Kingston drive is cool kit and nicely priced, but its PCMCIA not CFII.
