Kicking Flash

Digital cameras are not only fun, they're convenient. I can't imagine owning an “analog” one ever again. Now, that's not to say that the romance in developing one's own roll will disappear or be any less engaging, just that for me (an average person who wants to take average pictures and get instant satisfaction), digital is the only way to go. Within a decade, corner processing centers will surely be antiquated. Katie ran out of film this afternoon, missing a few nice ocean / beach shots. I had a 64 MB CF waiting for me, had the 128 MB card filled up. I debated getting a 512, but prices are still a little too high. I looked at a Mr. Flash (which sells for much less than $200). Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the company or their products - beyond being leery about purchasing from retailers with “Mr.” somewhere in their title. I'd love to get my hands on that new 1 gigabyte CompactFlash, but I'm not going to pay more for it than I did for my camera. I'll wait for a killer deal to come along before I score a second 256 MB (or higher capacity) card. Anything less is kinda inconvenient. Consider the math: 4×64, 2×128, or a single 256 (or higher). Ah, too bad these devices don't have the ability to upload pictures immediately to a computer via a wireless Internet connection. Wouldn't that be a kick?
