Finally Sony give up.
The Sony/Panasonic battle started with the Beta/VHS battle that Panasonic won in Europe. The Beta SP/M2 battle was won by Sony. Now the Memorycard battle are won by Panasonic and SONY only have one way to go. I have been testing the new cards that - not as you write - are based on SD cards but on a brand new BIO chip that will last for about 60 to 85 years. Only problem with the first models is that there is a little hole (cannot be seen on the picture as SONY had hoped this would be solved before the card was launced) In this hole you will have to give it a drop of water every day. Sony have been working on a solution where the water could be taken out of the air but they could not make it work in desert conditions - but maybe that will be solved. In arctic conditions you can use 100% clean alcohole but until now it can give some problems with erased memory. BUT this is certainly a day to remember. |

IF it's true, and IF that quoted price is correct, AND IF they are as good as the Pana and Fuji cards, then they May become very popular.
BUT I suspect It's "APRIL 1" at SONY.... Still LOL |

Sony's P2 cards could be great except for the 35Mbps throughput limitation, maximum 4:2:0 color space and needing a special $15,000 deck to play them back.
