Sorry, let me add a question:

How many years do you need to reach 100,000 rewriting cycles? Assuming that you use them ALL DAYS (including Saturday and Sunday) and that you make 2 cycles per day (very optimistic), you’d need…

100000/365/2= 137 years!!!

Yes, I am sure that you are NOT expecting to amortize your investment in 137 years…

Please, be a bit more rational. Don’t try to compare with tape in terms of cost/min because it’s not logical. Do you store your personal pictures in flash memory? And in HDD? No, you at the end stores in optical media (probably DVD) due to $/MB.

Even more… If you try to let your PCMCIA inside your camcorder, and you don’t transfer the content into NLE system (to save time), you will have your camcorder stopped for shooting during… how much time? Are you able to make an edition with on line quality in few minutes? No, you will need some hours (even for only the 8 minutes of the ridiculous memory autonomy in HD). That is, more impossible to make two rewriting cycles per day.

This is impractical today… maybe in ?? years.
